Chapter 17, Problem 45P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound with molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{9}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$, that is a cyclic ether is to be identified on the basis of its given ${}^{\text{13}}\text{C}$ NMR spectrum data.

Concept introduction:

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

The ${}^{\text{13}}\text{C}$ NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of carbon atoms present in a molecule. The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the carbon atom.
