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 = CH2
/
HO
CH2(OH)CHO
