Chapter 18, Problem 50P

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 ${\text{H}}^1$ 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.

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 present around the respective carbon atom.
