Chapter 21, Problem 21.69SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the compound that has molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{5}}{\text{H}}_{\text{9}}\text{NO}$ is to be predicted. Also, an explanation regarding its consistency with the absorptions in the spectra is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

A method by which the structure of a compound is determined by the interaction between matter and electromagnetic radiation is called spectroscopy. A spectroscopic technique in which infrared radiation is used for structural study is called IR spectroscopy. Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group.
