    Methoxybenzene or anisole has six carbons, but only four peaks in the spectrum because of symmetry. These peaks are all above 100 ppm, but some peaks are as far downfield as 160 ppm.

    • Benzaldehyde has peaks between 130 and 140 ppm, as well as one near 190 ppm. Just as in the sp3 region of the spectrum, when a carbon is attached to an electronegative element, it moves further downfield, and since the carbonyl (or C=O) carbon in the aldehyde has two bonds to oxygen, it shows up considerably downfield. The carbonyl carbon in some ketones can show up as far as 210 ppm.
