Q6. 1. The proton -decoupled 13C NMR of A(C_(6)H_(3)Br_(3)) showed only two signals. What is the
element of unsaturation? Draw the structure of A . (5)
Given the following information, elucidate the structures of compound A . The compound is
soluble in dilute aqueous HCl . The mass spectrum of A has M+:149. Other spectroscopic data
for A is given below. Justify the structures you propose by assigning specific aspects of the data
to the structures. (5)
The IR spectrum for compound A shows two bands in the 3300-3500-cm^(-1) region. The
broadband proton decoupled ^(13)C NMR spectrum displayed the following signals (information
from the DEPT 13C spectra is given in parentheses with the 13C chemical shifts):
^(13) C NMR: ppm; 140(C),127(C),125(CH),118(CH),24(CH2),13(CH3)
Two compounds with the molecular formula C_(5)H_(10)O have the following ^(1)H and ^(13)C NMR
data. Both compounds have a strong IR absorption band in the 1710-1740-cm_(1) region.
Elucidate the structure of these two compounds and interpret the spectra. (10)
