hence, the extent of shielding. The chemical shifts of the C-H protons in ethanol, for example, can be rationalized by the proximity to the oxygen with the methylene group (-CH2-), which is bonded directly to oxygen, being more downfield than the methyl group (-CH3). Therefore, the student applied the resource productively based on the proximity to the nitrogen heteroatom relative to oxygen, but resonance effects are considered before inductive effects. Inductive
