Ketones undergo a reduction when treated with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. What is the structure of the compound produced by reaction of 2-butanone with NaBH4 if it has an IR absorption at 3400 cm-1 and M+=74 in the mass spectrum?
y-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?

This problem is adapted from an experiment designed for undergraduate organic chemistry laboratories. (a) Reaction of (E)-1-(p-methoxyphenyl)propene with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid converted the alkene to its corresponding epoxide. Give the structure, including stereochemistry, of this epoxide.(b) Assign the signals in the 1H NMR spectrum of the epoxide to the appropriate hydrogens. δ 1.4 (doublet, 3H) δ 3.8 (singlet, 3H) δ 3.0 (quartet of doublets, 1H) δ 6.9 (doublet, 2H) δ 3.5 (doublet, 1H) δ 7.2 (doublet, 2H) (c) Three signals appear in the range δ 55–60 in the 13C NMR spectrum of the epoxide. To which carbons of the epoxide do these signals correspond? (d) The epoxide is isolated only when the reaction is carried out under conditions (added Na2CO3) that ensure that the reaction mixture does not become acidic. Unless this precaution is taken, the isolated product has the molecular formula C17H17O4Cl. Suggest a reasonable structure for this product and write a reasonable mechanism…
N-propylbenzene, C6H5CH2CH3, contains C (sp3) -H and C (sp2) -H bonds. Its IR spectrum shows strong or medium absorptions at 3085, 3064, 3028, 2960, 2931 and 2873 cm ^ -1, as well as bands below 1600cm -1. Which statement is wrong? A.) Stretching of the C (sp3) -H bonds results in absorptions at lower wave numbers than the stretching of the C (sp2) -H bonds. B.) The absorptions at 2960, 2931 and 2873 cm ^ -1 are assigned to stretching of the C (sp3) -H bonds. C.) The absorptions at 3085, 3064 and 3028 cm ^ -1they are assigned to stretching of the C (sp2) -H bonds. D.) Each absorption can be assigned to the stretch mode of a particular bond in the propylbenzene molecule.
