- A solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?arrow_forwardAn 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_forward
- Three 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_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. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows three singlets – δ 1.0 (6H), 1.1 (12H), 1.4 (1H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 25, 28, 41, 64 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forward
- Compound C has the molecular formula C5H8O. The IR, 1H, 13C, and DEPT NMR spectra of this compound are shown below. (a) Calculate the double bond equivalent of compound C and briefly explain what the values obtains represents. Interpret the IR spectrum. (b) Based on the information provided, determine the structure of compound D.arrow_forwardThree isomeric compounds, A, B, and C, all have molecular formulaC8H11N. The 1H NMR and IR spectral data of A, B, and C are given below.What are their structures?arrow_forwardCompound A and compound B both have molecular formula C6H12. Both compounds produce epoxides when treated with a peroxy acid (RCO3H). The epoxide resulting from compound A was treated with aqueous acid (H3O+) and the resulting diol has no chiral centers. Identify the two possible structures for compound A (enter two numbers separated by commas with no spaces, e.g. "1,2") The epoxide resulting from compound B was treated with (H3O*) and the resulting diol was a meso compound.

- Thymol (molecular formula C10H14O) is the major component of the oil of thyme. Thymol shows IR absorptions at 3500–3200, 3150–2850, 1621, and 1585 cm−1. The 1H NMR spectrum of thymol is given below. Propose a possible structure for thymol.arrow_forwardCompound A is treated with a mixture of nitric and sulfuric acids to generate Compound B. The 1H-NMR spectrum of B shows two singlets, one at 2.52 pm and one at 8.13 ppm. The 13C-NMR spectrum of B shows five signals. The mass spectrum of B shows a peak at m/z = 260 and another peak at m/z = 262; the relative height of the two peaks is 1:1 respectively. - Identify compound B, explaining your reasoningarrow_forwardWhen compound A (C5H12O) is treated with HBr, it forms compound B (C5H11Br).
