Question: A optically active compound, C5H10O, exhibits IR absorption at 1730 cm-1.

Its carbon NMR shifts are given below. The number of hydrogen's at each carbon, determined by DEPT, is given in parentheses after the chemical shift.

13C NMR: δ 22.6 (3), 23.6 (1), 52.8 (2), 202.4 (1)

Draw the structure of this compound in the window below

Explanation:

3-methylbutanal is a butanal substituted by the methyl group at the 3rd position. It is a volatile constituent in the olive. Also, it is used as a flavoring agent and a plant metabolite, it is also a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite. It is also called as the Isovaleraldehyde organic compound. The liquid is colorless at STP, and also found in very low concentrations. It is also seen to be produced commercially for different use. Mostly used compound reagent in the preparation of pharmaceuticals and pesticides.
