Find and draw the structure of trans-cinnamaldehyde, which is responsible for the characteristic fragrance and flavor of cinnamon. What is the coupling constant for the hydrogen on carbon-3 if the two peaks of the doublet occur at 7.412 and 7.416 ppm on a 300 MHz NMR? Is this value consistent with the structure?

Splitting of a signal in a proton NMR spectrum tells us the number of chemically non-equivalent hydrogens in the immediate vicinity of the hydrogen giving the signal. Predict the number of lines exhibited by hydrogens at the labeled positions in a first-order NMR spectrum.

10.9 A compound of molecular formula C₂H₂ClO₂ has peaks at 55.8, 56.8, 112.9, 113.4, 116.2, 123.1, 149.5, and 153.9 in its proton- decoupled ¹3C NMR spectrum. Give the structure of the compound and assign as many signals as possible to the carbons in the structure.
Imagine that you developed a new chlorination reaction and you used isobutyraldehyde (A) as a starting material. The reaction produces one product: either B or B’. How would you distinguish these two compounds from one another using 1 H NMR or IR spectroscopy?
