- Compound H (C8H6O3) gives a precipitate when treated with hydroxylamine in aqueous ethanol and a silver mirror when treated with Tollens solution. Following is its 1H-NMR spectrum. Deduce the structure of compound H.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_forwardThe 1H-NMR spectrum of Compound C shows five signals – δ 2.38 (1H, dt), 2.72 (1H, dt), 5.34 (1H, t), 5.49 (2H, ddd), 6.27 (2H, dd) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 26, 58, 127, 129 ppm. In the compound’s mass spectrum, the M+1 peak appears at m/z = 115. An M+2 peak, whose intensity is roughly one-third that of the M+1 peak, also appears. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forward
- Phenacetin is an analgesic compound having molecular formula C10H13NO2. Once a common component in over-the-counter pain relievers such as APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), phenacetin is no longer used because of its liver toxicity. Deduce the structure of phenacetin from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forwardCompound X (molecular formula C10H12O) was treated with NH2NH2, −OH to yield compound Y (molecular formula C10H14). Based on the 1HNMR spectra of X and Y given below, what are the structures of X and Y?arrow_forwardAn unknown compound A has the molecular formula C4H3O2.

- Reaction of p-cresol with two equivalents of 2-methylprop-1-ene affords BHT, a preservative with molecular formula C15H24O. BHT gives the following 1H NMR spectral data: 1.4 (singlet, 18 H), 2.27 (singlet, 3 H), 5.0 (singlet, 1 H), and 7.0 (singlet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of BHT? Draw a stepwise mechanism illustrating how it is formed.arrow_forwardWhen compound A (C5H12O) is treated with HBr, it forms compound B (C5H11Br). The 1H NMR spectrum of compound A has a 1H singlet, a 3H doublet, a 6H doublet, and two 1H multiplets. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound B has a 6H singlet, a 3H triplet, and a 2H quartet. Identify compounds A and B.arrow_forwardReaction of aldehyde D with amino alcohol E in the presence of NaH forms F (molecular formula C11H15NO2). F absorbs at 1730 cm−1 in its IR spectrum. F also shows eight lines in its 13C NMR spectrum, and gives the following 1H NMR spectrum: 2.32 (singlet, 6 H), 3.05 (triplet, 2 H), 4.20 (triplet, 2 H), 6.97 (doublet, 2 H), 7.82 (doublet, 2 H), and 9.97 (singlet, 1 H) ppm. Propose a structure for F. We will learn about this reaction in Chapter 18.arrow_forward
