Chapter 18.SE, Problem 53AP
The red fox (Vulpes vulpes) uses a chemical communication system based on scent marks in urine. One component of fox urine is a sulfide whose mass spectrum has M+ = 116. IR spectroscopy shows an intense band at 890 cm-1, and 1H NMR spectroscopy reveals the following peaks:
1.74 δ (3 H, singlet); 2.11 δ (3 H, singlet); 2.27 δ (2 H, triplet, J = 4.2 Hz); 2.57 δ (2 H, triplet, J = 4.2 Hz); 4.73 δ (2 H, broad)
Propose a structure consistent with these data. [Note; (CH3)2S absorbs at 2.1 δ.]

A hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions.
a) How many rings are in compound C?
b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B?
c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C?
d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?
Benzonitrile (C6H5CN) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. Treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms K, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following IR absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. Treatment with a milder reducing agent forms L, which has amolecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following IR absorptions: 3086, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. L shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z = 105 and 77. Propose structures for K and L and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.
Treatment of compound D with LiAlH4 followed by H2O forms compound E. D shows a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at m/z = 71 and IR absorptions at 3600–3200 and 2263 cm–1. E shows a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at m/z = 75 and IR absorptions at 3636 and 3600–3200 cm–1. Propose structures for D and E from these data and the given 1H NMR spectra.
