Question
The proton NMR spectral information shown in this problem is for a compound with formula $\mathrm{C}_{10} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}_3$. A disubstituted aromatic ring is present in this compound. Expansions are shown for each of the unique protons. Determine the $J$ values and draw the structure of this compound. The doublets at 6.45 and $7.78 \mathrm{ppm}$ provide an important piece of information. Likewise, the broad peak at about $12.3 \mathrm{ppm}$ provides information on one of the functional groups present in this compound. Assign each of the peaks in the spectrum.DIAGRAM CANT COPY
Step 1
This indicates that the compound contains 10 carbon atoms, 10 hydrogen atoms, and 3 oxygen atoms. The presence of 3 oxygen atoms suggests the possibility of functional groups such as alcohols, ethers, or carboxylic acids. Show more…
