An aromatic hydrocarbon with a molecular formula of C13H20 has an 1H NMR spectrum with a signal at ~7 ppm that integrates to 5H. It also has two singlets; one of the singlets has 1.5 times the area of the second. What is the structure of the aromatic hydrocarbon?
4) Aromatic compounds are among the most abundant and versatile in nature. From a synthetic point of view, these compounds, despite their stabilities, are quite useful and can undergo reactions under special conditions and by specific mechanisms, such as the Electrophilic Aromatic Substitution (SAE) and the Nucleophilic Aromatic Substitution (SNAr). Based on this, please answer the following items:
(b) How would you prepare the following compounds starting from benzene?
Explain the second in a different way
