Concept explainers
Interpretation: The structures and appropriate spectra for each structure are to be proposed. The cleavage which is responsible for the base peak at m/z 44 in the mass spectrum of A and the prominent peak at m/z 58 in the mass spectrum of B is to be described.
Concept introduction: NMR spectroscopy is a technique used to determine a unique structure of the compounds. It identifies the carbon-hydrogen bonding of an organic compound. A hydrogen atom is called as a proton in the NMR spectroscopy. IR spectroscopy is used to identify the
To determine: The structures and appropriate spectra for each structure and the cleavage which is responsible for the base peak at m/z 44 in the mass spectrum of A and the prominent peak at m/z 58 in the mass spectrum of B.

- Compound I (C11H14O2) is insoluble in water, aqueous acid, and aqueous NaHCO3, but dissolves readily in 10% Na2CO3 and 10% NaOH. When these alkaline solutions are acidified with 10% HCl, compound I is recovered unchanged. Given this information and its 1H-NMR spectrum, deduce the structure of compound I.arrow_forwardA hydrocarbon, compound B, has molecular formula C6H6, and gave an NMR spectrum with two signals: delta 6.55 pm and delta 3.84 pm with peak ratio of 2:1. When warmed in pyridine for three hr, compound B quantitatively converts to benzene. Mild hydrogenation of B yielded another compound C with mass spectrum of m/z 82. Infrared spectrum showed no double bonds; NMR spectrum showed one broad peak at delta 2.34 ppm. With this information, address the following questions. a) How many rings are in compound C? b) How many rings are probably in B? How many double bonds are in B? c) Can you suggest a structure for compounds B and C? d) In the NMR spectrum of B, the up-field signal was a quintet, and the down field signal was a triplet. How must you account for these splitting patterns?arrow_forwardAn unknown compound D exhibits a strong absorption in its IR spectrumat 1692 cm−1.

- Treatment of the bicyclic chloride A with lithium in tetrahydrofuran (THF) gave the monocyclic product B, C,H,Li. In deuterated THF, B exhibited a single proton NMR signal at 6.72 ppm and a single 13 C-NMR signal at about 110 ppm. Treatment of B with tetraethylammonium chloride gave a white solid in which N(C2H5)4 replaces Li. Draw a structure for the lithium derivative B.
