- Compound A, C8H10O, has the IR and 1H NMR spectra shown. Propose a structure consistent with the observed spectra, and label each peak in the NMR spectrum. Note that the absorption at 5.5 î disappears when D2O is added.arrow_forwardCompound B of molecular formula C9H19N shows a noteworthy infrared absorption at 3300 cm-1. Its 1H-NMR spectrum shows three singlets – δ 1.0 (6H), 1.1 (12H), 1.4 (1H) ppm. Its 13C-NMR spectrum has four signals – δ 25, 28, 41, 64 ppm. Suggest a structure for this compound.arrow_forwardPhenacetin is an analgesic compound having molecular formula C10H13NO2. Once a common component in over-the-counter pain relievers such as APC (aspirin, phenacetin, caffeine), phenacetin is no longer used because of its liver toxicity. Deduce the structure of phenacetin from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forward
- Propose a structural formula for compound A, C5H13N, given its IR and calculated 1H-NMR spectra.arrow_forwardA solution of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?arrow_forwardFollowing are 1H-NMR spectra for compounds B (C6H12O2) and C (C6H10O). Upon warming in dilute acid, compound B is converted to compound C. Deduce the structural formulas for compounds B and C.arrow_forward
- An unknown compound has a molecular formula of C4H6O2. Its IR spectrum shows absorptions at 3095, 1762, 1254, and 1118 cm -1. It exhibits the following signals in its 1H NMR spectrum (ppm): 2.12 (singlet,3H), 4.55 (doublets of doublets, 1H), 4.85 (doublet of doublets, 1H), 7.25 (doublets of doublets, 1H); and the following signals in its 13C NMR spectrum (ppm): 20.8, 100.4, 141.2, 168.0. Draw the structure of the unknown compoundarrow_forwardThe treatment of (CH3)2C=CHCH2Br with H2O forms B (molecular formulaC5H10O) as one of the products. Determine the structure of B from its 1H NMR and IR spectra.arrow_forwardCompound K, molecular formula C6H14O, readily undergoes acid-catalyzed dehydration when warmed with phosphoric acid to give compound L, molecular formula C6H12, as the major organic product. The 1H-NMR spectrum of compound K shows signals at d 0.90 (t, 6H), 1.12 (s, 3H), 1.38 (s, 1H), and 1.48 (q, 4H). The 13C-NMR spectrum of compound K shows signals at d 72.98, 33.72, 25.85, and 8.16. Deduce the structural formulas of compounds K and L.arrow_forward
- An unknown compound has a molecular formula of C3H6O2. Its IR spectrum shows a very strong and broad band at 2980 and a strong sharp peak at 1716 cm-1. It exhibits the following signals in its 1H NMR spectrum (ppm): 1.21 (triplet, 3H), 2.48 (quartet, 2H), 11.7 (singlet, 1H); and the following signals in its 13C NMR spectrum (ppm): 8.9, 27.6, 181.5. Draw the structure of the unknown compound.arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed hydrolysis of HOCH2CH2C(CH3)2CN forms compound A (C6H10O2). A shows a strong peak in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following signals in its 1H NMR spectrum: 1.27 (singlet, 6 H), 2.12 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.26 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. Draw the structure for A and give a stepwise mechanism that accounts for its formation.arrow_forwardAlthough benzene itself absorbs at 128 ppm in its 13C NMR spectrum, the carbons of substituted benzenes absorb either upfield or downfield from this value depending on the substituent. Explain the observed values for the carbon ortho to the given substituent in the monosubstituted benzene derivatives X and Y.arrow_forward
