I have to identify an unknown liquid. Smells a bit like tiger balm. Refractive Index of 1.5167 @ 22.5 degrees C.

 

Infrared Spec: I have the big broad obvious OH stretch. Two strong peaks around 700 & 750 which is characteristic of a mono subst' benzene ring (NMR shows a big ass (5x) peak at 7.2). C-H stretching. And what I think is a C-O stretch of a primary alcohol.

 

UV-Vis: Lambda max @ 260 nm.

 

Problem is that I'm no NMR expert. Its up to me to learn. I need a good tutorial web site. If anyone can help me out on the basics of chemical shift, etc would be appreciated. I want to figure it out on my own, only way I'm going to learn, but I can provide scans of the NMR.

 

Specifically I have to figure out the configuration of the molecule.
