Chapter 19, Problem 19.57SP
An unknown compound shows a weak molecular ion at m/z 87 in the mass spectrum, and the only large peak is at m/z 30. The IR spectrum follows. The proton NMR spectrum shows only three singlets: one of area 9 at δ0.9, one of area 2 at δ1.0, and one of area 2 at δ2.4. The singlet at δ1.0 disappears on shaking with D2O. Determine the structure of the compound, and show the favorable fragmentation that accounts for the ion at m/z 30.

Acid-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.
A 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?
