Chapter 21, Problem 21.64SP
A chemist was called to an abandoned aspirin factory to determine the contents of a badly corroded vat. Knowing that two salvage workers had become ill from breathing the fumes, she put on her breathing apparatus as soon as she noticed an overpowering odor like that of vinegar but much more pungent. She entered the building and took a sample of the contents of the vat. The mass spectrum showed a molecular weight of 102, and the NMR spectrum showed only a singlet at δ2.15. The IR spectrum, which appears here, left no doubt about the identity of the compound. Identify the compound, and suggest a method for its safe disposal.

An 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…
