Answer

Step by step solution

01

13C NMR spectroscopy

13C spectroscopy gives all the types of carbon signals. The carbon present in a different environment gives different signals.

02

Constitutional isomers

The constitutional isomers give different signals due to different orientations of the groups. Different orientations give different chemical environment.

03

Explanation

The constitutional isomers C4H9Br and their corresponding signals are shown as:

The 1H NMR spectrum 1,2-dimethoxyethane (CH3OCH2CH2OCH3) recorded on a 300 MHz NMR spectrometer consists of signals at 1017 Hz and 1065 Hz downfield from TMS. (a) Calculate the chemical shift of each absorption. (b) At what frequency would each absorption occur if the spectrum were recorded on a 500 MHz NMR spectrometer?

Question: Identify the structures of isomers A and B (molecular formula C9H10O ).

Compound A: IR peak at 1742 cm-1 ; 1 H NMR data (ppm) at 2.15 (singlet, 3 H), 3.70 (singlet, 2 H), and 7.20 cm-1(broad singlet, 5 H). Compound B: IR peak at 1688 ; 1 H NMR data (ppm) at 1.22 (triplet, 3 H), 2.98 (quartet, 2 H), and 7.28–7.95 (multiplet, 5 H).

Question: Reaction of C6H5CH2CH2OH with CH3COCl affords compound W, which has molecular formula C10H12O2. W shows prominent IR absorptions at 3088–2897, 1740, and 1606cm-1 . W exhibits the following signals in its 1 H NMR spectrum: 2.02 (singlet), 2.91 (triplet), 4.25 (triplet), and 7.20–7.35 (multiplet) ppm. What is the structure of W? We will learn about this reaction in Chapter 22.
