- Shown below is the 1H NMR spectrum of the alkyl bromide used to make the phosphonium ylide that reacts with a ketone in a Wittig reaction to form a compound with molecular formula C11H14. What product is obtained from the Wittig reaction?arrow_forwardKetones undergo a reduction when treated with sodium borohydride, NaBH4. What is the structure of the compound produced by reaction of 2-butanone with NaBH4 if it has an IR absorption at 3400 cm-1 and M+=74 in the mass spectrum?arrow_forwardCompound 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_forward
- Enamines normally react with methyl iodide to give two products: one arising from alkylation at nitrogen and the second arising from alkylation at carbon. For example, Heating the mixture of C-alkylation and N-alkylation products gives only the product from C-alkylation. Propose a mechanism for this isomerization.arrow_forwardCompound H (C8H6O3) gives a precipitate when treated with hydroxylamine in aqueous ethanol and a silver mirror when treated with Tollens solution. Following is its 1H-NMR spectrum. Deduce the structure of compound H.arrow_forwardAs a method for the synthesis of cinnamaldehyde (3-phenyl-2-propenal), a chemist treated 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol with K2Cr2O7 in sulfuric acid. The product obtained from the reaction gave a signal at δ5 in its 13C NMR spectrum. Alternatively, when the chemist treated 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol with PCC in CH2Cl2, the 13C NMR spectrum of the product displayed a signal at δ193.8. (All other signals in the spectra of both compounds appeared at similar chemical shifts.) (a) Which reaction produced cinnamaldehyde? (b) What was the other product?arrow_forward
- Identify products A and B from the given 1H NMR data. Treatment of acetone [(CH3)2C=O] with dilute aqueous base forms B. Compound B exhibits four singlets in its 1H NMR spectrum at 1.3 (6 H), 2.2 (3 H), 2.5 (2 H), and 3.8 (1H) ppm. What is the structure of B?arrow_forwardA solution of acetone [(CH3)2C = O] in ethanol (CH3CH2OH) in the presence of a trace of acid was allowed to stand for several days, and a new compound of molecular formula C7H16O2 was formed. The IR spectrum showed only one major peak in the functional group region around 3000 cm−1, and the 1H NMR spectrum is given here. What is the structure of the product?arrow_forwardIdentify products A and B from the given 1H NMR data. Treatment of CH2=CHCOCH3 with one equivalent of HCl forms compound A. A exhibits the following absorptions in its 1H NMR spectrum: 2.2 (singlet, 3H), 3.05 (triplet, 2 H), and 3.6 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of A?arrow_forward
- After 2-bromo-3,3-dimethylbutane was reacted with H2SO4, a ¹H NMR spectrum was obtained of the product. This spectrum showed a singlet at 1.79 ppm. Propose a structure for the product of this reaction. OH H2SO4 Qarrow_forwardWhen compound A (C5H12O) is treated with HBr, it forms compound B (C5H11Br). The 1H NMR spectrum of compound A has a 1H singlet, a 3H doublet, a 6H doublet, and two 1H multiplets. The 1H NMR spectrum of compound B has a 6H singlet, a 3H triplet, and a 2H quartet. Identify compounds A and B.arrow_forwardAcid-catalyzed dehydrarion of 3-hydroxy-3-phenylcyctohexanone leads to an unsaturated ketone. What possible structures are there for the product? At what position in the IR spectrum would you expect each to absorb? If the actual product has an absorption at 1670 cm', what is its structure ?arrow_forward
