- Phenacetin, a substance formerly used in over-the-counter headache remedies, has the formula C10H13NO2. Phenacetin is neutral and does not dissolve in either acid or base. When warmed with aqueous NaOH, phenacetin yields an amine, C8H11NO, whose 1H NMR spectrum is shown. When heated with HI, the amine is cleaved to an aminophenol, C6H7NO. What is the structure of phenacetin, and what are the structures of the amine and the aminophenol?arrow_forwardAnethole, C10H12O, a major constituent of the oil of anise, has the 1H NMR spectrum shown. On oxidation with Na2Cr2O7, anethole yields p-methoxybenzoic acid. What is the structure of anethole? Assign all peaks in the NMR spectrum, and account for the observed splitting patterns.arrow_forwardA 13C NMR spectrum of commercially available 2,4-pentanediol, shows five peaks at 23.3, 23.9, 46.5, 64.8, and 68.1 .

- Treatment of 2-methylpropanenitrile [(CH3)2CHCN] withCH3CH2CH2MgBr, followed by aqueous acid, affords compound V, whichhas molecular formula C7H14O. V has a strong absorption in its IRspectrum at 1713 cm−1, and gives the following 1H NMR data: 0.91(triplet, 3 H), 1.09 (doublet, 6 H), 1.6 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.43 (triplet, 2 H), and2.60 (septet, 1 H) ppm. What is the structure of V?arrow_forwardAs a method for the synthesis of cinnamaldehyde (3-phenyl-2-propenal), a chemist treated 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol with K2Cr2O7 in sulfuric acid. The product obtained from the reaction gave a signal at δ5 in its 13C NMR spectrum. Alternatively, when the chemist treated 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol with PCC in CH2Cl2, the 13C NMR spectrum of the product displayed a signal at δ193.8. (All other signals in the spectra of both compounds appeared at similar chemical shifts.) (a) Which reaction produced cinnamaldehyde? (b) What was the other product?arrow_forwardReaction of aldehyde D with amino alcohol E in the presence of NaH forms F (molecular formula C11H15NO2). F absorbs at 1730 cm−1 in its IR spectrum. F also shows eight lines in its 13C NMR spectrum, and gives the following 1H NMR spectrum: 2.32 (singlet, 6 H), 3.05 (triplet, 2 H), 4.20 (triplet, 2 H), 6.97 (doublet, 2 H), 7.82 (doublet, 2 H), and 9.97 (singlet, 1 H) ppm. Propose a structure for F. We will learn about this reaction in Chapter 18.arrow_forward
- Reaction of unknown A with HCl forms chlorohydrin B as the major product. A shows no absorptions in its IR spectrum at 1700 cm−1 or 3600-3200 cm−1, and gives the following 1H NMR data: 1.4 (doublet, 3 H), 3.0 (quartet of doublets, 1 H), 3.5 (doublet, 1 H), 3.8 (singlet, 3 H), 6.9 (doublet, 2 H), and 7.2 (doublet, 2 H) ppm. (a) Propose a structure for A, including stereochemistry. (b) Explain why B is the major product in this reaction.arrow_forwardTreatment of 2-methylpropanenitrile [(CH3)2CHCN] with CH3CH2CH2MgBr, followed by aqueous acid, affords compound V, which has molecular formula C7H14O.
