Textbook Question
Chapter 18.SE, Problem 53AP
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) uses a chemical communication system based on scent marks in urine. One component of fox urine is a sulfide whose mass spectrum has M+ = 116. IR spectroscopy shows an intense band at 890 cm-1, and 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals the following peaks:
1.74 δ (3 H, singlet); 2.11 δ (3 H, singlet); 2.27 δ (2 H, triplet, J = 4.2 Hz); 2.57 δ (2 H, triplet, J = 4.2 Hz); 4.73 δ (2 H, broad)
Propose a structure consistent with these data. [Note; (CH3)2S absorbs at 2.1 δ.]

A hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions.
a) How many rings are in compound C?
b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B?
c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C?
d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?
How could 1H NMR spectroscopy be used to distinguish among isomers A, B, and C?
Treatment of butan-2-one (CH3COCH2CH3) with strong base followed by CH3I forms a compound Q, which gives a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 86. The IR (> 1500 cm−1 only) and 1H NMR spectra of Q are given below. What is the structure of Q?
