Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A compound X with the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{11}}{\text{H}}_{\text{24}}{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}$ and no $\text{O}-\text{H}$ stretching absorption in its IR spectrum is to be identified on the basis of given information.

Concept introduction:

NMR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine a unique structure of the compounds. It identifies the carbon-hydrogen bonding of an organic compound. A hydrogen atom is called as a proton in the NMR spectroscopy.

The number of NMR signal in a compound is equal to the number of chemically non-equivalent protons present in that compound. The more the shielded proton lesser will be its chemical shift value and the corresponding signal will be produced at the right-hand side or lower frequency region or vice versa.
