Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

A structure for the compound A, C4H8O3, with the following spectral characteristics is to be proposed.

I R: 1710 cm-1, 2500 cm-1, 3100 cm-1.

1.26 δ (Rel.area:3.00), 3.64 δ (Rel.area: 2.00), 4.14 δ (Rel.area: 2.00), 11.12 δ (Rel.area: 1.00).

Concept introduction:

In IR, the carboxyl carbonyl in cyclopentanecarboxylic acid absorbs at 1725 cm-1 while the OH absorption is seen as a characteristic broad band in the range 2500-3300 cm-1.

In 1HNMR, the acidic COOH proton normally absorbs as singlet, broadened in few cases, near 12 δ.

To propose:

A structure for the compound A, C4H8O3, with the following spectral characteristics is to be proposed.

I R: 1710 cm-1, 2500 cm-1, 3100 cm-1.

1HNMR: 1.26 δ (Rel.area: 3.00), 3.64 δ (Rel.area: 2.00), 4.14 δ (Rel.area: 2.00), 11.12 δ (Rel.area: 1.00).

Treatment of compound E (molecular formula C4H8O2) with excess CH3CH2MgBr yields compound F (molecular formula C6H14O) after protonation with H2O. E shows a strong absorption in its IR spectrum at 1743 cm-1. F shows a strong IR absorption at 3600–3200 cm-1. The 1H NMR spectral data of E and F are given. What are the structures of E and F?Compound E signals at 1.2 (triplet, 3 H), 2.0 (singlet, 3 H), and 4.1 (quartet, 2 H) ppmCompound F signals at 0.9 (triplet, 6 H), 1.1 (singlet, 3 H), 1.5 (quartet, 4 H), and 1.55 (singlet, 1 H) ppm
Deduce 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.
A 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 attempt
