Concept explainers
Interpretation: The structure of the compound with molecular formula
Concept introduction: Degree of unsaturation is used to determine the total number of rings and pi bonds present in compound by just looking at the molecular formula. It does not specify the total number of rings and total number of pi bonds individually.
NMR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine a unique structure of the compounds. It identifies the carbon-hydrogen bonding of an organic compound. A hydrogen atom is called as a proton in the NMR spectroscopy.
The number of NMR signal in a compound is equal to the number of chemically non-equivalent protons present in that compound. The more the shielded proton less will be its chemical shift value and the corresponding signal will be produced at the right-hand side or lower frequency region or vice versa.

- Following are 1H-NMR spectra for compounds G, H, and I, each with the molecular formula C5H12O. Each is a liquid at room temperature, is slightly soluble in water, and reacts with sodium metal with the evolution of a gas. (a) Propose structural formulas of compounds G, H, and I. (b) Explain why there are four lines between 0.86 and 0.90 for compound G. (c) Explain why the 2H multiplets at 1.5 and 3.5 for compound H are so complex.arrow_forwardPhenacetin, a substance formerly used in over-the-counter headache remedies, has the formula C10H13NO2. Phenacetin is neutral and does not dissolve in either acid or base. When warmed with aqueous NaOH, phenacetin yields an amine, C8H11NO, whose 1H NMR spectrum is shown. When heated with HI, the amine is cleaved to an aminophenol, C6H7NO. What is the structure of phenacetin, and what are the structures of the amine and the aminophenol?arrow_forwardAscaridole is a natural product that has been used to treat intestinal worms. Explain why the two methyls on the isopropyl group in ascaridole appear in its 1H-NMR spectrum as four lines of equal intensity, with two sets of two each separated by 7 Hz.arrow_forward

Why are the two methyl groups attached to C3 nonequivalent? Making a molecular model should be helpful.arrow_forwardThe 'H NMR spectrum of compound A (C3H100) has four signals: a multiplet at 8 = 7.25-7.32 ppm (5 H), a singlet at d = 5.17 ppm (1 H), a quartet at d = 4.98 ppm (1 H), and a doublet at ô = 1.49 ppm (3 H). There are 6 signals in its 13C NMR spectrum. The IR spectrum has a broad absorption in the -3200 cm-1 region. Compound A reacts with KMNO4 in a basic solution followed by acidification to give compound B with the molecular formula C7H6O2. Draw structures for compounds A and B.arrow_forward
