Chapter 14: Q.21558-14-58P (page 565)

Question: As we will learn in Chapter 20, reaction of (CH3)2CO withLiCCH followed by affords compound D, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 84 and prominent absorptions in its IR spectrum at 3600–3200, 3303, 2938, and 2120cm-1 . D shows the following 1 H NMR spectral data: 1.53 (singlet, 6 H), 2.37 (singlet, 1 H), and 2.43 (singlet, 1 H) ppm. What is the structure of D?

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Reaction of the carbonyl compound

The nucleophile attacks the carbonyl carbon (acetone). This is because the CO group has the electrophilic position and forms an alcohol, followed by a workup.

02

Step 2:  NMR of alcoholic proton

1H NMR gives a singlet and the broad signal of alcohol proton (OH).

03

Explanation

IR absorption at 3600-3200cm-1 : OH, 3303cm-1 : Csp3-H 2938cm-1 Csp3-H NMR data: 1.53 (singlet, 6 H, 2 CH3), 2.37 (singlet, 1 H), and 2.43 (singlet, 1 H) ppm

Question: Cyclohex-2-enone has two protons on its carbon-carbon double bond (labeled Ha and Hb ) and two protons on the carbon adjacent to the double bond (labeled Hc ). (a) If Jab = 11 Hz and Jbc = 4 Hz, sketch the splitting pattern observed for each proton on the hybridized carbons. (b) Despite the fact that Ha is located adjacent to an electron-withdrawing C=O, its absorption occurs up-field from the signal due to Hb(6.0 vs. 7.0 ppm). Offer an explanation.
