Textbook Question
Chapter 13, Problem 13.55SP
Phenyl Grignard reagent adds to 2-methylpropanal to give the secondary alcohol shown. The proton NMR of 2-methylpropanal shows the two methyl groups as equivalent (one doublet at δ 1.1), yet the product alcohol, a racemic mixture, shows two different 3H doublets, one at δ 0.75 and one around δ 1.0.
- a. Draw a Newman projection of the product along the C1-C2 axis.
- b. Explain why the two methyl groups have different NMR chemical shifts. What is the term applied to protons such as these?
