Shielding vs. Deshielding If a nuclei sees a smaller total magnetic field, it is
said to be shielded.
When a nuclei is shielded, its NMR frequency is shifted upfield lower chemical shift
Shielded lower
Deshielded higher

Mesomeric effect: definition The mesomeric effect or resonance effect in
chemistry is a property of the substituents or functional groups in a chemical compound. The effect is used in a qualitative way and describes the electron withdrawing or releasing properties of the substituents based on relevant resonance structures and is symbolized by the letter M. The mesomeric effect is negative (-M) when the substituent is an electron-withdrawing group and the effect is positive (+M) when based on resonance the substituent is an electron releasing group.

Magnetic anisotropy of bonds Chemical bonds are anisotropic in space: they
have different properties along different axis
When a chemical bond is placed in a external magnetic field, it will generate a local field around itself that will also be anisotropic.

Predicting 1H chemical shifts:Shoolery’s rule
Several factors can influence the 1H chemicalshift: carbon substitution, electronegativity, mesomeric effect,…
Those effects are additive
If methane is used as the base compound, the contribution of each of substituent can be addedup following the empirical Shoolery’s rule:

Aromatic compounds Substituent has a similar effect on the chemical
shifts of the aromatic ring than on alkenes.
Results from the inductive and resonance effects.

But it does NOT work when 2 substituents are ortho to each other…

Protons on Heteroatoms (N,S,O) Chemical shifts are very sensitive to pH,
temperature, solvent and concentration
Typical ranges are:
Acids RCOOH 10.5-12 ppm
Phenols ArOH 4.0-7.0 ppm
