- Compound 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_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
- A 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_forwardName the following compounds A and B. How could you distinguish these two molecules by using 1H NMR and IR techniques? Propose an analytical technique to determine the iron content of these compounds.
