With the acquisition of a 45MHz Picospin NMR spectrometer, students in the organic chemistry laboratory can acquire NMR spectra of liquid compounds quickly and easily with no sample preparation.  The Picospin NMR spectrometer was used to teach the introductory concepts of NMR interpretation including number of signals, chemical shift, integration and multiplicity and real-time analysis of reaction products.   The spectrometer was also used to quickly analyze student samples to confirm product formation in synthesis reactions.  This presentation will highlight the introduction and ongoing efforts to further integrate the Picospin NMR into the introductory organic chemistry laboratory curriculum.
