Site Upgrade in Progress — We are currently upgrading organicchemistrydata.org to meet WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards. This process involves significant reworking of over 2,500 pages across multiple collections. While we are working to ensure a smooth transition, some resources may be temporarily affected. If you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Selecting a Spectroscopic Tool I

If you needed to distinguish each of the compounds in the following pairs (A & B) from each other, which spectroscopic method (infrared or ¹H nmr would be best (most certain)? Assume that you do not have a reference sample of either compound for direct comparison.
