Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{7}}\text{NO}$ from its ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H NMR}$ spectrum has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

The spectrum of a compound provides some vital information that is required to predict the structure of the compound.  The chemical shift values can predict the groups that are present in the molecule.  The splitting of signals predicts the number of hydrogens or protons attached to the adjacent carbon in a carbon chain of a compound.  With this information, the structure of the compound can be predicted.
