Chapter 19.8C, Problem 19.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the given amine and the peak assignments for all of the protons in the structure are to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

The degree of unsaturation formula is used to draw chemical structures and determine how many rings, double or triple bonds are there in the given compound.

The degree of unsaturation is calculated by the formula,

$\text{HDI}=\frac{\text{1}}{\text{2}}\left(\text{2C}+\text{2}+\text{N}-\text{H}-\text{X}\right)$

Where,

• $\text{C}$ is the number of carbon atoms.
• $\text{N}$ is the number of nitrogen atoms.
• $\text{H}$ is the number of hydrogen atoms.
• $\text{X}$ is the number of halogen atoms.
