Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The structure of the compound according to the given molecular formula
Concept introduction:
Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the molecule. It is based on the interactions between matter and
Infra-red (IR) spectroscopy is used for the detection of the functional group present in the compound.
Proton NMR spectroscopy identifies the total number of hydrogen atoms present in a molecule and the nature of the functional group.
The value of chemical peaks in NMR depends upon the chemical environment around the hydrogen atom.

- Identify the structures of isomers H and I (molecular formula C8H11N).a.) Compound H: IR absorptions at 3365, 3284, 3026, 2932, 1603, and1497 cm−1 b.) Compound I: IR absorptions at 3367, 3286, 3027, 2962, 1604, and1492 cm−1arrow_forwardWhat is the structure of the compound with the formula C5H12O, if it has a strong broad IR signal centered near 3330 cm-2, and the 1H-NMR spectrum is: 0.91 ppm (3H triplet) 1.19 ppm (6H singlet) 1.50 ppm (2H quartet) 2.24 ppm (1H singlet)arrow_forwardAn aromatic compound K, whose molecular formula is C8H11N, is examined in the laboratory to elucidate its structure. The following observations were made: A) Compound K is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid but insoluble in sodium hydroxide solution. B) Treatment of compound K with excess potassium hydroxide and benzenesulfonyl chloride, C(6)H(5)SO(2)Cl, results in the formation of a heterogeneous mixture. The NMR spectrum of compound K is shown below. C) Compound K when treated with acetic anhydride[CH3-C(O)-O-C(O)-CH3], gives compound L, whose molecular formula is C(10)H(13)ON. Compound L is insoluble in dilute acid or dilute base at room temperature, heating compound L in dilute acid or base, however, regenerates compound K. D) When compound L is heated with a mixture of concentrated nitric acid and sulfuric acid, a single product, compound M, with the molecular formula C(10)H(12)O(3)N(2) is formed in excellent yields. On the basis of these observations draw the structures of…arrow_forward
- The 1H-NMR spectrum of compound R, C6H14O, consists of two signals: d 1.1 (doublet) and d 3.6 (septet) in the ratio 6:1. Propose a structural formula for compound R consistent with this informationarrow_forwardAn organic compound B with formula C6H14O has the following: IR Spectroscopy 2974 cm-1, 1080 cm-1 Mass Spectrometry 102 (M+), 87, 73 1H NMR Spectroscopy Eight signals at δ 1.10 (d, 3H), 1.13 (dd, 3H), 1.14 (dd, 3H), 1.59 (ddq, 1H), 1.60 (ddq, 1H), 3.19 (ddq, 1H), 3.51 (dq, 1H), 3.50 (dq, 1H). Compound B is obtained by the reaction of compound A with NaH followed by CH3CH2Br. The stereochemistry of A is "S" Using this information, deduce a plausible structure for Compound A with correct stereochemistry.arrow_forwardCompound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forward
- 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?arrow_forwardPropose a structural formula for the analgesic phenacetin, molecular formula C10H13NO2, based on its 1H-NMR spectrum.arrow_forwardThe 13C-NMR spectrum of 3-methyl-2-butanol shows signals at 17.88 (CH3), 18.16 (CH3), 20.01 (CH3), 35.04 (carbon-3), and 72.75 (carbon-2). Account for the fact that each methyl group in this molecule gives a different signal.arrow_forward
