Chapter 16.4, Problem 2LTS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To identify the number of proton signals the structure exhibits in the ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H NMR}$ spectrum.

Concept Introduction:

${}^{\text{1}}\text{H NMR}$: A technique gives information to predict the Carbon and Hydrogen connectivity in the organic compounds.

Enantiotopic protons: If subjected protons in the molecule can be interchanged through rotational or reflection symmetry known as Enantiotopic protons and the protons are chemically equivalent.

Replacement test: In the molecule replacing each one of the subjected protons with deuterium gives the two compounds are same; then the protons are chemically equivalent.

To Identify: The number of proton signals the structure would exhibits.
