Answer:
d. 3 signals: a singlet, a doublet, and a septet
Explanation:
In this case, we can start with the structure of
. When we draw the molecule we will obtain <u>2-methoxypropane</u> (see figure 1).
In 2-methoxypropane we will have three signals. The signal for the groups in the left, the
and the
in the right. Lets analyse each one:
-) in the right
In this carbon, we dont have any hydrogen as neighbors. Therfore we will have <u>singlet</u> signal in this carbon.
-)
In this case, we have 6 hydrogen neighbors ( the two methyl groups in the left). So, if we follow the <u>n + 1 rule</u> (where n is the amount of hydrogen neighbors):
For this carbon we will have a <u>septet</u>.
-) in the left
In this case we have only 1 hydrogen neighbor (the hydrogen in
). So, if we use the n+1 rule we will have:
We will have a doublet
With all this in mind the answer would be:
<u>d. 3 signals: a singlet, a doublet, and a septet </u>
