Low molecular weight esters (RCO2 R) often have characteristic odors. Using its molecular formula and 1H NMR spectral data, identify each ester.

a. Compound R, the odor of banana: C7H14O2; 1H NMR: 0.93 (doublet, 6 H), 1.52 (multiplet, 2 H), 1.69 (multiplet, 1 H), 2.04 (singlet, 3 H), and 4.10 (triplet, 2 H) ppm


b. Compound S, the odor of rum: C7H14O2; 1H NMR: 0.94 (doublet, 6 H), 1.15 (triplet, 3 H), 1.91 (multiplet, 1 H), 2.33 (quartet, 2 H), and 3.86 (doublet, 2 H) ppm
