Its ¹H NMR spectrum consists of two peaks at 80.9 and
83.6 (relative areas 3:1). Which compound is it? Describe
the spectrum that would be expected if it had been the
other ester.
Reaction of p-cresol with two equivalents of 2-methylprop-1-ene affords BHT, a preservative with molecular formula C15H24O. BHT gives the following 1H NMR spectral data: 1.4 (singlet, 18 H), 2.27 (singlet, 3 H), 5.0 (singlet, 1 H), and 7.0 (singlet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of BHT? Draw a stepwise mechanism illustrating how it is formed.
Select the best answer. Briefly explain the selection. A mechanism is an acceptable explanation.
