Concept introduction:
In IR the O-H stretching of alcohols and phenols are observed in the range 3200-3550 cm-1. The C=C stretching is observed in the range 1620-1680 cm-1. In 1HNMR spectrum, the alcoholic proton absorption occurs in the range 3.4 δ - 4.5 δ while that of phenolic proton occur in the range 3.0 to 8.0. The
The absorption due to 10 alkyl group (CH3) is seen around 0.7 δ - 1.3 δ, that due to a 20 alkyl group (CH2) is seen around 1.2 δ - 1.6 δ while that due to 30 alkyl group (CH) is seen around 1.4 δ - 1.8 δ The multiplicity of a signal gives an idea about the protons present in the adjacent carbons.
To state:
The number of the double bonds and/or rings in the compound A.
To identity:
The oxygen containing functional group from IR spectral data and the protons responsible for the NMR data listed.
To propose:
A structure for the compound A.

- One frequently used method for preparing methyl esters is by reaction of carboxylic acids with diazomethane, CH2N2. The reaction occurs in two steps: (l) protonation of diazomethane by the carboxylic acid to yield methyldiazonium ion, CH3N2+, plus a carboxylate ion; and (2) reaction of the carboxylate ion with CH3N2+. (a) Draw two resonance structures of diazomethane, and account for step 1. (b) What kind of reaction occurs in step 2?arrow_forwardCompound X has molecular formula C5H10.
