Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.49SP
The three isomers of dimethylbenzene are commonly named ortho-xylene, meta-xylene, and para-xylene. These three isomers are difficult to distinguish using proton NMR but they are instantly identifiable using 13 C N M R.
- a. Describe how carbon NMR distinguishes these three isomers.
- b. Explain why they are difficult to distinguish using proton NMR.

- Order the following organic reactions by relative rate. That is, select '1' next to the reaction that will have the fastest initial rate, select '2' next to the reaction that will have the next fastest initial rate, and so on. If two reactions will have very similar initial rates, you can select the same number next to both. If a reaction will have zero or nearly zero initial rate, don't select a number and check the box in the table instead.
