- Treatment of benzoic acid (C6H5CO2H) with NaOH followed by 1-iodo-3methylbutane forms H. H has a molecular ion at 192 and IR absorptions at 3064, 3035, 2960−2872, and 1721 cm−1. Propose a structure for H.arrow_forward1,3,5,7-Cyclooctatetraene, C8H8, is an unusual hydrocarbon in that it reacts with exactly 2 equivalents of potassium to give A, C8H8K2, which can be isolated as a white solid. A exhibits a single proton NMR signal. Draw the structure of A.arrow_forwardDeduce the structures of compounds A and B, two of the major components of jasmine oil, from the given data. Compound A: C9H10O2; IR absorptions at 3091–2895 and 1743 cm-1; 1H NMR signals at 2.06 (singlet, 3 H), 5.08 (singlet, 2 H), and 7.33 (broad singlet, 5 H) ppm. Compound B: C14H12O2; IR absorptions at 3091–2953 and 1718 cm-1; 1H NMR signals at 5.35 (singlet, 2 H) and 7.26–8.15 (multiplets, 10 H) ppm.arrow_forward

Suggest a reaction mechanism for the formation of this product ion. Absorbancearrow_forwardAddition of mesitylene to the strongly acidic solvent HF / SbF5 at -45 °C gives a new species which shows a 1H-NMR resonance at δ 4.67 (2H). Draw the structure of this species.arrow_forwardCompound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forward
- (d) Ozonolysis of 3,4-dimethyl-3-hexene gives compound D. (i) Write the reaction step for the formation of D by including the appropriate reagents.

(ii) Identify the more stable resonance of the proposed structure in (ii).arrow_forwardCompound A undergoes an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis. One of the products (B) that is isolated gives the following 1H NMR spectrum. Identify the compounds A and Carrow_forwardA and B are isomeric dicarbonyl compounds of the molecular formula C5H&O2. The 'H NMR spectrum of A contains a singlet at 2.05 ppm and another singlet at 5.40 ppm. The 'H NMR spectrum of B contains three signals: a singlet at 2.3 ppm, a triplet at 1.10 ppm and a quartet at 2.70 ppm. Suggest structures for A and B and draw them in their respective boxes below. 1st attemptarrow_forward
- In an aqueous solution containing sodium bicarbonate, aniline reacts quickly withbromine to give 2,4,6-tribromoaniline. Nitration of aniline requires very strong conditions,however, and the yields (mostly m-nitroaniline) are poor.(a) What conditions are used for nitration, and what form of aniline is present under theseconditions?arrow_forwardA solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?arrow_forward(a) The 'H-NMR spectrum of cyclobutanone shows two signals - signal A at 3.00 ppm and signal B at 1.95 ppm. Give the multiplicity of each signal. cyclobutanone (b) When cyclobutanone is treated with D20 and NaOD, the only signal observable in the 1H-NMR is a singlet at 2.00 ppm. Explain why this is the case. [Note: Deuterium atoms do not display signals in the TH-NMR spectrum]arrow_forward
