Chapter 14, Problem 35P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure for compound $\text{M}$, which has the molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{9}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}$, is to be proposed.

Concept Introduction:

▸ In $\text{NMR}$ spectroscopy, proton nuclear magnetic resonance ${(}^{\text{1}}\text{H}\text{NMR)}$ is used to find out the structure of molecules with the help of the ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ atom within the molecules.

▸ The splitting of the molecules is determined by the $\text{(n}+1)$ peaks in an $\text{NMR}$ resonance, in which $\text{n}$ is the number of hydrogen atoms on the adjacent atom.
