I am currently trying to characterize the different peaks in my molecule, which is N-(3-bromo)phenyl benzamide, but am having a lot of trouble understanding how a meta-substituent would affect H NMR shift.

I am also confused as to how I got 7 peaks (I believe the ones in the 2.5-3.3 range are impurities of water and DMSO), when there would be 8 possible signals.

I am looking for someone to help me understand how a meta-substituent would affect H NMR shift, and help me to characterize this compound.

Here’s what I have so far, please correct me if I’m wrong:

7.599: multiplet, 1H, H

7.841: multiplet, 1H, C

8.017: multiplet, 2H, F

8.177: doublet, 1H, D

10.571: singlet, 1H, E

Thanks!
