- Compound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forwardA compound, C7H12O2, exhibits the following 13C NMR shifts and substitution, determined by DEPT. 13C NMR: δ25.5 (2o), 25.9 (2o), 29.0 (2o), 43.1 (3o), 183.0 (4o) Draw the structurearrow_forwardWhich of the following compounds is consistent with the ¹H NMR spectrum shown below? 7 1H dd (A) 1H 1H dd dd 6 (B) ppm 5 (C) ★ 3H S (D)arrow_forward
- Treatment of benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H) with NaOH followed by 1-iodo-3methylbutane forms H. H has a molecular ion at 192 and IR absorptions at 3064, 3035, 2960−2872, and 1721 cm−1. Propose a structure for H.arrow_forwardCiprofloxacin is a member of the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics.(a) Which of its rings are aromatic?(b) Which nitrogen atoms are basic?(c) Which protons would you expect to appear between d 6 and d 8 in the proton NMR spectrum?arrow_forwardHow could 1H NMR spectroscopy be used to distinguish among isomers A, B, and C?arrow_forward
- A hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions. a) How many rings are in compound C? b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B? c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C? d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?arrow_forwardAddition of mesitylene to the strongly acidic solvent HF / SbF5 at -45 °C gives a new species which shows a 1H-NMR resonance at δ 4.67 (2H). Draw the structure of this species.arrow_forwardThe primary amine isoamylamine (3-methylbutylamine) occurs naturally in a number of fruits and is used as a food flavouring: (CH3),CHCH,CH,NH, 3-methylbutylamine Suggest two ways in which it can be synthesised from suitable organic precursors. Note that only one of the two methods you propose may involve the reduction of another nitrogen containing compound. In each case, you should indicate what starting material and other reagents are needed, though details of precise experimental conditions or reaction mechanisms are not required.arrow_forward
- The enamine prepared from acetone and dimethylamine is shown here in its lowest-energy form. (a) What is the geometry and hybridization of the nitrogen atom? (b) What orbital on nitrogen holds the lone pair of electrons? (c) What is the geometric relationship between the p orbitals of the double bond and the nitrogen orbital that holds the lone pair? Why do you think this geometry represents the minimum energy?arrow_forwardGive mechanistic explanations for the following synthetic transformations.arrow_forwardGive a clear handwritten answer and explainarrow_forward
