Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A suitable structure for compound A having the molecular formular ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_3$ that is in accordance with the given spectroscopic data is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and electromagnetic radiations. IR spectroscopy is used for the detection of functional group present in the compound. Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group. The value of chemical peaks depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.
