need help finding the structure of the chemical compund from the proton NMR spectrum.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Here the triplet peak at 0.9 to 0.95 ppm corresponds to a terminal -CH₃ which is attached to a -CH₂ group.

The singlet peak at 1.2 ppm corresponds to the hydroxyl group, -OH.

The multiplet at 1.3 to 1.48 ppm corresponds to the rest of the -CH₂ groups.

Since the general formula is C₆H₁₄O, the structure of the chemical compound is 1-Hexanol.

CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-CH₂-OH
