Question
Chapter 10, Problem 40P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The distribution of unpaired electron density in the ethyl radical and tert-butyl radical as compared to the methyl radical is to be explained and the relative stability of the radicals is to be represented.
Concept introduction:
The chemical species that consists of unpaired electrons is called a radical. Radicals are formed by homolytic cleavage and can be positive, negative, or neutral species. They are an important part of any

You are doing a ruthenium catalyzed hydrogenation of 4-methylbenzaldehyde (reactant) to 4-methylbenzyl alcohol (product). Draw the reaction equation. Can you use IR spectroscopy to distinguish between reactant and product? Include a detailed list of the characteristic IR bands that you expect to see in your explanation.
Shown below are three isomers of a disubstituted benzene ring. The 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectra are also shown below for ONE of these isomers. Identify which isomer is producing these spectra?
Hint: Consider the number of chemically equivalent hydrogen and carbon environments in each structure and the number of signals expected for each.
In practise, overlapping of signals may occur if two or more hydrogen environments (or carbon environments for 13C NMR) are very similar to one another. This is often seen for aromatic signals in particular.
