The 1H-NMR of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O2 consists of four signals: 1.1 (triplet, integrating to 3 Hydrogens), 1.2

(doublet, integrating to 6 Hydrogens), 2.3 (quartet, integrating to 2 Hydrogens) and 5.0 (septet, integrating to 1 Hydrogen). Propose a structural formula for this compound consistent with this information.

Answer:

Isopropyl propionate  

Explanation:

1. Information from formula

The formula is C₆H₁₂O₂. A six-carbon alkane would have the formula C₆H₁₄. The deficiency of two H atoms indicates the presence of either a ring or a double bond.

2. Information from the spectrum

(a) Triplet-quartet

A 3H triplet and a 2H quartet is the classic pattern for a CH₃CH₂- (ethyl) group

(b) Septet-doublet

A 1H septet and a 6H doublet is the classic pattern for a -CH(CH₃)₂ (isopropyl) group

(c) The rest of the molecule

The ethyl and isopropyl groups together add up to C₇H₁₂.

The rest of the molecule must have the formula CO₂ and one unit of unsaturation. That must be a C=O group.

The compound is either

CH₃CH₂-COO-CH(CH₃)₂ or (CH₃)₂CH-COO-CH₂CH₃.

(d) Well, which is it?

The O atom of the ester function should have the greatest effect on the H atom on the adjacent carbon atom.

The CH of an isopropyl is normally at 1.7. The adjacent O atom should pull it down perhaps 3.2 units to 4.9.  

The CH₂ of an ethyl group is normally at 1.2. The adjacent O atom should pull it down to about 4.4.

We see a signal at 5.0 but none near 4.4. The compound is isopropyl propionate.

3. Summary

My peak assignments are shown in the diagram below.

1. How does the amount of energy in the batteries in a flashlight compare to the total amount of energy given off by the flashli
qaws [65]
1. The total energy in the batteries and the total energy given off by the flashlight through heat and light is equal. This is because of the "Law of the Conservation of Energy." Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. This can also be backed with the first law of thermodynamics.

2. A rate of a chemical reaction can be increased by increasing the temperature, or introducing a catalyst.

3. a. The saliva acts as a catalysts in breaking down the cracker.

3. b. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds on the sugars in the cracker.

3. c. The energy is the cracker is released through the body's natural process in breaking down the cracker and the sugars.
