- Compound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forwardPropose a structural formula for the analgesic phenacetin, molecular formula C10H13NO2, based on its 1H-NMR spectrum.arrow_forwardA ¹H NMR spectrum is shown for a molecule with the molecular formula of C10H12O4.

- Predict the ¹H NMR spectrum of diethoxymethane.arrow_forwardThe 'H NMR spectrum of compound A (C3H100) has four signals: a multiplet at 8 = 7.25-7.32 ppm (5 H), a singlet at d = 5.17 ppm (1 H), a quartet at d = 4.98 ppm (1 H), and a doublet at ô = 1.49 ppm (3 H). There are 6 signals in its 13C NMR spectrum. The IR spectrum has a broad absorption in the -3200 cm-1 region. Compound A reacts with KMNO4 in a basic solution followed by acidification to give compound B with the molecular formula C7H6O2. Draw structures for compounds A and B.arrow_forwardCompound B of molecular formula C9H19N shows a noteworthy infrared absorption at 3300 cm-1. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows three singlets – δ 1.0 (6H), 1.1 (12H), 1.4 (1H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 25, 28, 41, 64 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forward
- The 1H-NMR spectrum of Compound C shows five signals – δ 2.38 (1H, dt), 2.72 (1H, dt), 5.34 (1H, t), 5.49 (2H, ddd), 6.27 (2H, dd) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 26, 58, 127, 129 ppm. In the compound’s mass spectrum, the M+1 peak appears at m/z = 115. An M+2 peak, whose intensity is roughly one-third that of the M+1 peak, also appears. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forwardA hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions. a) How many rings are in compound C? b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B? c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C? d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?arrow_forwardPropose a structure for compound X (molecular formula C6H12O2), which gives a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 1740 cm−1. The 1H NMR spectrum of X shows only two singlets, including one at 3.5 ppm. The 13C NMR spectrum is given below. Propose a structure for X.arrow_forward
- The 1H-NMR spectrum of Compound D of molecular formula C10H12O shows three singlets – δ 2.20 (6H, s), 4.86 (4H), 7.10 (2H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has five signals – 20, 74, 127, 135, 146 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forwardAn unknown compound C3H2NCl shows moderately strong IR absorptions around 1650 cm-1 and 2200 cm-1. Its NMR spectrum consists of two doublets (J = 14 Hz) at δ 5.9 and δ 7.1. Propose a structure consistent with this data?arrow_forwardCompound B of molecular formula C9H19N shows a noteworthy infrared absorption at 3300 cm-1. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows three singlets – δ 1.0 (6H), 1.1 (12H), 1.4 (1H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 25, 28, 41, 64 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.
