- Following are 1H-NMR spectra for compounds G, H, and I, each with the molecular formula C5H12O. Each is a liquid at room temperature, is slightly soluble in water, and reacts with sodium metal with the evolution of a gas. (a) Propose structural formulas of compounds G, H, and I. (b) Explain why there are four lines between 0.86 and 0.90 for compound G. (c) Explain why the 2H multiplets at 1.5 and 3.5 for compound H are so complex.arrow_forwardKetones undergo a reduction when treated with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. What is the structure of the compound produced by reaction of 2-butanone with NaBH4 if it has an IR absorption at 3400 cm-1 and M+=74 in the mass spectrum?arrow_forwardCompound H (C8H6O3) gives a precipitate when treated with hydroxylamine in aqueous ethanol and a silver mirror when treated with Tollens solution. Following is its 1H-NMR spectrum. Deduce the structure of compound H.arrow_forward
- Propose a structural formula for the analgesic phenacetin, molecular formula C10H13NO2, based on its 1H-NMR spectrum.arrow_forwardPropose a structural formula for each compound consistent with its 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectra. (a) C5H10O2 (b) C7H14O2 (c) C6 H12O2 (d) C7H12O4 (e) C4H7ClO2 (f) C4H6O2arrow_forwardPhenacetin, a substance formerly used in over-the-counter headache remedies, has the formula C10H13NO2. Phenacetin is neutral and does not dissolve in either acid or base. When warmed with aqueous NaOH, phenacetin yields an amine, C8H11NO, whose 1H NMR spectrum is shown. When heated with HI, the amine is cleaved to an aminophenol, C6H7NO. What is the structure of phenacetin, and what are the structures of the amine and the aminophenol?arrow_forward
- A 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_forwardThe 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_forwardwhat is is the structure of a compound of molecular formula c 10 h 14 o 2 that shows a strong ir absorption at 3150-2850 cm − 1 and give the following 1 h nmr absorptions: 1.4 (triplet, 6 h), 4.0 (quarter, 4h), and 6.8 (singlet, 4h) ppm?arrow_forward

Assign chemical shifts to corresponding hydrogen and carbon atoms Molecular Formula: C5H10O3arrow_forwardYou have a sample of a compound of molecular formula C11H15NO2, which has a benzene ring substituted by two groups, (CH3)2N− and −CO2CH2CH3, and exhibits the given 13C NMR. What disubstituted benzene isomer corresponds to these 13C data?arrow_forwardTreatment of alcohol A (molecular formula C5H12O) with CrO3, H2SO4, and H2O affords B with molecular formula C5H10O, which gives an IR absorption at 1718 cm−1. The 1H NMR spectrum of B contains the following signals: 1.10 (doublet, 6 H), 2.14 (singlet, 3 H), and 2.58 (septet, 1 H) ppm. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forward
