Chapter 16.6, Problem 14ATS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: To find structure of the given molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{15}}\text{Cl}$.

Concept Introduction:

Integration value: The integration value at the bottom of the ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}\text{NMR}$ spectrum represents the number of protons giving rise to the signal.

HDI (Index of hydrogen deficiency): HDI values gives information on the level of unsaturation (means a double bond or a ring) on the structure of the compound.

$\begin{array}{l}\text{HDI= }\frac{\left(\text{2(7)+2-15-1}\right)}{\text{2}}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{14+2-16}}{\text{2}}\\ \text{=0}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l}\text{C }\text{indicates}\text{number}\text{of}\text{carbon}\\ \text{N }\text{indicates}\text{number}\text{of}\text{nitrogen}\\ \text{H }\text{indicates}\text{number}\text{of}\text{hydrogen}\\ \text{X }\text{indicates}\text{number}\text{of}\text{halogen}\end{array}$
