Chapter 15.7, Problem 15.16P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Whether CH3(CH2)6CH3 is optically active or not needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The ability of substances to rotate the plane of polarized light passes through it is defined as an optical activity of the substance. The molecules with chiral center or asymmetric in nature can show optical activity. Thus, the presence of the chiral center in the molecule is important in this case.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Whether the given molecule is optically active or not needs to be determined.

Please help answer number 2. Thanks in advance.
How do I explain this? Thank you!
When an unknown amine reacts with an unknown acid chloride, an amide with a molecular mass of 163 g/mol (M* = 163 m/z) is formed. In the infrared spectrum, important absorptions appear at 1661, 750 and 690 cm. The 13C NMR and DEPT spectra are provided. Draw the structure of the product as the resonance contributor lacking any formal charges. 13C NMR DEPT 90 200 160 120 80 40 0 200 160 120 80 40 0 DEPT 135 T 200 160 120 80 40 0 Draw the unknown amide.
