Chapter 20, Problem 20.57AP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of optically inactive compound A with the molecular formula C6H10O4 that follows the given NMR data and can be resolved into enantiomers is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Many nuclei and electrons have spin. Due to this, a spin magnetic moment arises. The energy of this magnetic moment depends on the orientation of the applied magnetic field. In NMR spectroscopy, every nucleus has a spin. There is an angular momentum related to the spin. The difference between its resonance frequency and that of the reference standard is known as the chemical shift of a nucleus. Tetramethylsilane (TMS) is taken as reference.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of isomer of compound A that has a different melting point and almost identical NMR spectra as that of A is to be stated.

The 'H NMR spectrum of compound A (C3H100) has four signals: a multiplet at 8 = 7.25-7.32 ppm (5 H), a singlet at d = 5.17 ppm (1 H), a quartet at d = 4.98 ppm (1 H), and a doublet at ô = 1.49 ppm (3 H). There are 6 signals in its 13C NMR spectrum. The IR spectrum has a broad absorption in the -3200 cm-1 region. Compound A reacts with KMNO4 in a basic solution followed by acidification to give compound B with the molecular formula C7H6O2. Draw structures for compounds A and B.
An unknown compound C3H2NCl shows moderately strong IR absorptions around 1650 cm-1 and 2200 cm-1. Its NMR spectrum consists of two doublets (J = 14 Hz) at δ 5.9 and δ 7.1. Propose a structure consistent with this data?
Compound B has molecular formula C9H12. It shows five signals in the 1H-NMR spectrum - a doublet of integral 6 at 1.22 ppm, a septet of integral 1 at 2.86 ppm, a singlet of integral 1 at 5.34 ppm, a doublet of integral 2 at 6.70 ppm, and a doublet of integral 2 at 7.03 ppm. The 13C-NMR spectrum of B shows six unique signals (23.9, 34.0, 115.7, 128.7, 148.9, and 157.4). Identify B and explain your reasoning.
