Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Given that spectroscopic analysis of compound A with formula C5H10O yields the following data:

IR: 3400cm-1; 1640 cm-1

1HNMR: 1.63 δ (3H, singlet); 1.70 δ (3H, singlet); 3.83 δ (1H, broad singlet); 4.15 δ (2H, doublet, J =7Hz); 5.70 δ (1H,triplet, J=7Hz).

i) How many double bonds and/or rings are there in A has is to be stated. ii) The identity of the oxygen containing functional group is to be derived from IR spectral data. iii) The protons responsible for the NMR data listed are to be identified. iv) A structure for the compound A is to be proposed.

Concept introduction:

In IR the O-H stretching of alcohols and phenols are observed in the range 3200-3550 cm-1. The C=C stretching is observed in the range 1620-1680 cm-1. In 1HNMR spectrum, the alcoholic proton absorption occurs in the range 3.4 δ - 4.5 δ while that of phenolic proton occur in the range 3.0 to 8.0. The aromatic protons give a broad peak in the range 6.5 δ - 8.0 δ, the benzylic protons normally absorb in the region 2.3 δ - 3.0 δ.

The absorption due to 10 alkyl group (CH3) is seen around 0.7 δ - 1.3 δ, that due to a 20 alkyl group (CH2) is seen around 1.2 δ - 1.6 δ while that due to 30 alkyl group (CH) is seen around 1.4 δ - 1.8 δ The multiplicity of a signal gives an idea about the protons present in the adjacent carbons.

To state:

The number of the double bonds and/or rings in the compound A.

To identity:

The oxygen containing functional group from IR spectral data and the protons responsible for the NMR data listed.

To propose:

A structure for the compound A.

Use the following spectroscopic data to work out the structure of an organic compound: Molecular formula: C3H7NO2, IR (cm): 3001, 2987, 1553 and 1387 cm*1; 1H NMR (5): 1.0 (t, 3H), 2.1 (m, 2H), and 4.4 (t, 2H); 13C NMR (5): 10, 21, and 78. MS: 89 (M+), 43 (Base peak), 41, and 29
An aromatic compound K, whose molecular formula is C8H11N, is examined in the laboratory to elucidate its structure. The following observations were made: A) Compound K is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid but insoluble in sodium hydroxide solution. B) Treatment of compound K with excess potassium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride, C(6)H(5)SO(2)Cl, results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture. The NMR spectrum of compound K is shown below. C) Compound K when treated with acetic anhydride[CH3-C(O)-O-C(O)-CH3], gives compound L, whose molecular formula is C(10)H(13)ON. Compound L is insoluble in dilute acid or dilute base at room temperature, heating compound L in dilute acid or base, however, regenerates compound K. D) When compound L is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, a single product, compound M, with the molecular formula C(10)H(12)O(3)N(2) is formed in excellent yields. On the basis of these observations draw the structures of…
Much of our understanding of conformational analysis has arisen from studies on the reactions of rigid steroid nuclei. For example, the concept of trans-diaxial ring opening of epoxycyclohexanes was proposed to explain the stereoselective reactions seen with steroidal epoxides. Predict the product when each of the following steroidal epoxides is treated with LiAlH4.
