Analysis of the NMR Spectrum of Pyridine

Abstract
The proton spectrum of pyridine, recorded while irradiating the 14N nucleus in order to remove the proton—nitrogen coupling, has been completely analyzed in terms of chemical shifts and coupling constants. The parameters obtained from the analysis differ substantially from the values previously reported in the literature for this compound but are in good agreement with the data determined from the analysis of monosubstituted pyridines. The coupling constant between the α protons is negative.
