Predict the structure of the compound that gives the spectrum shown below. Upon shaking the sample with D2O, the doublet at 2.2 ppm disappears from the spectrum and the peak at 3.7 ppm simplifies to a clean sextet. Calculate the degree of unsaturation of

Predict the structure of the compound that gives the spectrum shown below. Upon shaking the sample with D2O, the doublet at 2.2 ppm disappears from the spectrum and the peak at 3.7 ppm simplifies to a clean sextet. Calculate the degree of unsaturation of the compound. What functional group must this compound contain?

Answer #1

Molecular Formula : \(\mathrm{C}_{4} \mathrm{H}_{10} \mathrm{O}\)

Degree of unsaturation: \(C+1-H / 2\)

\(=4+1-10 / 2\)

\(=0\)

Upon shaking the sample with \(\mathrm{D}_{2} \mathrm{O}\), the doublet at 2.2 ppm disappears. So, it exchanges hydrogen, and hence it contains a hydroxyl group.

So its an alcohol.
