Question

The 1h nmr spectra corresponds to an alcohol with the molecular formula c5h12o. Deduce the structure from the spectra.

Answer 1

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The spectra can be seen in the first picture in the attachment.

The molecule corresponds to the  tert-amyl alcohol.

Explanation:

From the molecular formula, we can calculate the double bond equivalent, to know if there is any unsaturation in the molecule. For a compound of molecular formula CxHyOzXqNp

$DBE= (2x+2)- (y+q-p) ÷ 2$

DBE= (2.2+2)-12 ÷12 = 0

Therefore, the molecule does not have any unsaturation.

Considering the chemical shift values and the multiplicity, the structure that satisfies the spectra corresponds to the tert-amyl alcohol (structure in attachment).
