- Below are three MS spectra, Spectra 1, 2, and 3. Each of this mass spectrum corresponds to either Compound A (contains one Cl in the molecular formula), Compound B (one I in the molecular formula), and Compound C (one Br in the molecular formula). Identify which spectra corresponds to which compound. Provide explanations for your choices.arrow_forwardThe infrared spectrum of the compound with the mass spectrum shown below lacks any significant absorption above 3000 cm-1. There is a distinct peak near 1740 cm-1 and another strong peak near 1200 cm-1. molecular ion: M+ = 172arrow_forwardGiven the IR chart, identify what functional groups are present using the values below. Functional Group cm-1 O-H 3600-3200 N-H 3500-3200 Csp-H 3300 Csp2-H 3150-3000 Csp3-H 3000-2850 O=C-H 1740-1720 C=O 1800-1650 C=C (aromatic) 1650arrow_forward

- Here are proton NMR data for 1-bromopropane: Ha : triplet (2H) 3.32ppm; Hb : multiplet (2H)1.81ppm; Hc : triplet (3H) 0.93ppm. (Relative integrations shown in parentheses.) a. Through how many bonds can a hydrogen split another hydrogen? b. According to this splitting rule, does Ha split Hc ? c. Is your answer in part a) consistent with the multiplicity listed for peak clusters a and c? d. How many hydrogenssplit Hb ? e. Upon very close inspection of the proton NMR spectrum of 1-bromopropane, you wouldfind that peak cluster b has at least six peaks. Is this consistent with your answer in part d)? f. Speculate as to why any peak cluster with more than four peaks is listed simply as a"multiplet."arrow_forwardLong-range coupling between protons more than two carbon atoms apart is sometimes observed when bonds intervene. An example is found in 1-methoxy-l-buten-3-yne. Not only does the acetylenic proton, Ηa, couple with the vinylic proton Hb, it also couples with the vinylic proton Hc, four carbon atoms away.
