There are no upfield methylene shifts suggesting that all C2 units experience EW effect of carbonyls.

To practise drawing 6-membered rings in 3-D Prepared by ick Tappin 08/07/16 succinic acid IR indicates loss of ester and ketone carbonyls and presence of a carboxylic acid. 13C indicates a large gain in symmetry. ne shift is a carbonyl of an ester or acid, other an α-carbonyl C2 adapted from pp 246, Spectroscopic methods in organic chemistry, 6th Ed., D.
