Question
  1. Elemental analysis determined unknown Compound G to contain 40.0 % carbon, 6.7 % hydrogen.  Compound G had an M+ = 60 m/z on its MS. 

    Its IR displayed three absorbances: strong at 1710, strong below 3000, and broad from 2500 to 3500. 

    The proton NMR showed an absorbance at 1.7 ppm (lowest whole number ratio of H =3), and an absorbance at 11.5 ppm (lowest whole number ratio of H = 1). 

    Compound G was able to turn blue litmus paper red, and neutralize a base.  What is Compound G?

       

    CH3CO2H

       

    Formaldehyde

       

    HO           

         \         

         C = CH

         /

    HO

       

    CH2(OH)CHO

       

    CH(OH)=CH(OH)
