NMR impurities in Acetone-d₆ ((CD₃)₂CO)

Chemical shifts of common laboratory solvents, organics and gases measured in (CD₃)₂CO (deuterated acetone). Use it to identify the peaks in your spectrum that are not your compound.

Residual solvent, ¹H
2.05 ppm
Residual solvent, ¹³C
29.84, 206.26 ppm
Water, ¹H
2.84 ppm

To search these by shift instead of reading the table, open the lookup tool for (CD₃)₂CO or view them on a ppm axis.
