Chapter 14, Problem 14.3P

How many ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ NMR signals does each compound show?

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The number of ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ NMR signals in the given compound is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The number of NMR signal in a compound is equal to the number of chemically non-equivalent protons present in that compound. Protons which are present in the same chemical environment that is between the same group of atoms are known as chemically equivalent protons and in ${}^1\text{H}-\text{NMR}$ all chemically equivalent proton generates one signal or one peak, whereas non-equivalent proton generates different signals.
