Peak clusters in the 7-9 ppm region are almost always indicative of H’s attached to a benzene ring. (As we will learn later, the region from 7-9 ppm is called the aromatic region, and molecules containing a benzene ring are by far the most common type of aromatic molecule).

Peak clusters in the aromatic region often overlap one another. For example, the mass of peaks between 7.3 and 7.4 ppm on the spectrum below is actually two overlapping peak clusters: a doublet of doublets worth 2H’s overlapping with a triplet worth 1H.

Draw one structure that goes with both spectra on this page.
