Spectroscopy

1. (4 points) Propose structures for the following based on the proton NMR data given:

a) C5H11Cl
singlet, 9H, 1.0 ppm and singlet, 2H, 3.3 ppm

neopentyl chloride (CH3)3CCH2Cl

b) C4H8Br2
singlet, 6H, 1.8 ppm and singlet, 2H, 3.8 ppm

1,2-dibromo-2-methylpropane (CH3)2CBrCH2Br

2. (6 points) Identify the unknown compound that gives the spectra shown on the attachment.
Assign all peaks in the proton and C-13 NMR spectra
(correlate letters on the spectra with carbons and hydrogens in the structure).
Identify at least one point of information obtained from:

a) index of hydrogen deficiency

C6H10O3 indicates IHD = 2 (sum of rings + pi bonds)

b) mass spectrum

parent molecular ion at 130 indicates molecular weight

c) infrared spectrum

strong peaks around 1600 cm-1 indicate C=O (possibly two types)


ethyl acetoacetate CH3COCH2COOCH2CH3
