- An unknown compound has a molecular formula of C4H6O2. Its IR spectrum shows absorptions at 3095, 1762, 1254, and 1118 cm -1. It exhibits the following signals in its 1H NMR spectrum (ppm): 2.12 (singlet,3H), 4.55 (doublets of doublets, 1H), 4.85 (doublet of doublets, 1H), 7.25 (doublets of doublets, 1H); and the following signals in its 13C NMR spectrum (ppm): 20.8, 100.4, 141.2, 168.0. Draw the structure of the unknown compoundarrow_forwardCompound A of molecular formula C3H6O shows a noteworthy infrared absorption at 1716 cm-1. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows one singlet – δ 2.2 (6H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has two signals – δ 30, 207 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forwardThree compounds, A, B, and C, have the same molecular formula, C5H6. In the presence of a platinum catalyst, all three compounds absorb 3 molar equivalents of hydrogen and yield pentane. Compounds B and C give a precipitate when treated with ammoniacal silver nitrate; compound A give no reaction. Compounds A and B show an absorption maximum near 250 nm. Compound C shows no absorption maximum beyond 200 nm. Propose a structure for A, B, and C.arrow_forward
- Identify products A and B from the given 1H NMR data. Treatment of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] with dilute aqueous base forms B. Compound B exhibits four singlets in its 1H NMR spectrum at 1.3 (6 H), 2.2 (3 H), 2.5 (2 H), and 3.8 (1H) ppm. What is the structure of B?arrow_forwardA task is assigned to an undergraduate student to test two samples (known as compounds K and L) in the laboratory. She placed these two compounds through various scientific tests. She discovered that these compounds have the same molecular formula, CSHSO. When treated with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, all of these compounds produce brightly coloured precipitate, and both are reduced to an organic compound with the molecular formula C§H100. However, compound K can be easily oxidized by chromic acid to formed compound N and vice versa for compound L. Furthermore, when both compounds react with Fehling's solutions, they produce negative results. However, only compound K forms a silver mirror when it reacts with Tollen's reagent, and compound L does not. Identify the possible structural formulae for compounds K, L, and N by ignoring their position isomerism. Indicate the formation of compound N from compound K. Predict the chemical reaction that occurs when compound L reacts with 2,4-…arrow_forwardCompound B of molecular formula C9H19N shows a noteworthy infrared absorption at 3300 cm-1.
