Assessment of a drug’s purity is normally carried out through a combination of spectroscopic techniques. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a common choice of technique for compound analysis particularly during the synthetic process as it can provide rich information on the molecular structure but also help identify the nature of any impurities.
