Chapter 17, Problem 44P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The first compound having molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{10}}{\text{H}}_{\text{13}}\text{BrO}$, that produces benzyl bromide and ${\text{C}}_{\text{3}}{\text{H}}_{\text{6}}{\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ on heating with $\text{HBr}$ is to be identified on the basis of its ${}^{\text{1}}\text{H}$ NMR spectrum.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations.

Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group.

The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.
