Chapter 18, Problem 47P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the compound according to the given molecular formula $\left({\text{C}}_{\text{7}}{\text{H}}_{\text{14}}\text{O}\right)$ and distinct peak values that are observed in both the IR spectrum and ${\text{H}}^1$ NMR spectrum is to be identified.

Concept introduction:

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

Infra-red (IR) spectroscopy is used for the detection of the functional group present in the compound.

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

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