Short Answer

Expert verified

Peaks produced are:

One singlet

Two quartet

Three septate

Four doublet

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step SolutionStep 1: Non-Equivalent and Equivalent proton

The proton which is having a different environment and all protons give different peaks is the non-equivalent proton whereas the proton sharing the same environment and all protons giving the same singles or peaks are the equivalent protons.

02

Signal production

All equivalent proton produces a single signal and all the non-equivalent proton produces a separate signal for each proton.

03

Signal splitting

As the signal is produced by the proton is divided into subparts like 1H atom produce multiplet due to the different environment

If a methyl group is surrounded by other methyl groups produces a doublet.

Or some produce quartet signal.

04

The signal splitting of compound A

As per the molecule shown below the carbon represented by 1 produces a triplet due to methyl having three hydrogens.

Carbon is represented by two produce quartets because two hydrogens of methylene share different environments.

Carbon is represented by three produce septet due to 1 hydrogen share by 2 methyl groups.

Carbon represented by four produces doublet due to the six hydrogen.

Question: The NMR spectra of compound A, , are shown. Propose a structure for A, and assign peaks in the spectra to your structure.

Question: When measured on a spectrometer operating at 200 MHz, chloroform (CHCl3)shows a single sharp absorption at 7.3δ.

(a)How many parts per million downfield from TMS does chloroform absorb?

(b)How many hertz downfield from TMS would chloroform absorb if the measurement were carried out on a spectrometer operating at 360 MHz?

(c)What would be the position of the chloroform absorption inδunits when measured on a 360 MHz spectrometer?

Question: 3-Bromo-1-phenyl-1-propene shows a complex NMR spectrum in which the vinylic proton at C2 is coupled with both the C1 vinylic proton (J = 16 Hz) and the C3 methylene protons (J = 8 Hz). Draw a tree diagram for the C2 proton signal, and account for the fact that a five-line multiplet is observed .

Long-range coupling between protons more than two carbon atoms apart is sometimes observed when p bonds intervene. An example is found in 1-methoxy-1-buten-3-yne. Not only does the acetylenic proton, , couple with the vinylic proton , it also couples with the vinylic proton , four carbon atoms away. The data are:

Construct tree diagrams that account for the observed splitting patterns of ,, and .

spectra of the following compounds?

(a) 1,1-Dimethylcyclohexane

(b) CH3CH2OCH3

(c) tert-Butylcyclohexane
