An organic compound absorbs strongly in the IR at 1687 cm -1. The 1 -NMR for the compound consists of 2 signals a singlet at 2.1 ppm and a multiplet centered at 7.1 ppm. The MS shows significant peaks at m/z 120, 105, and 77. The above information is consistent with which of the following structures? I II III a. I b. II c. III d. IV e. V IV V To make use of the MS data, calculate the molecular weight, then calculate the weight for the pieces cleaved at either side of the carbonyl: 120 105 m/z = 15 for methyl loss, and 77 = benzene ring

Assuming all are resolved, how many different signals would be observed in the 13 C- NMR of the following compound? S S a. 4 b. 5 c. 6 d. 7 e. 8 Build this molecule, keeping the acyclic portion in the plane of the paper, and you will see only one of the S and one of the C (the others would be directly below). As such, the 2 C experience the same environment. Perhaps imagining rotation of the ethyl and vinyl groups would be helpful 16. Assuming all peaks are resolved, which of the following would give rise to 4 peaks in both the 1 -NMR and broadband decoupled 13 C-NMR spectra? Br I II III IV a. I b. II c. III d. IV e. More than one of the above
17. The broadband decoupled 13 C-NMR spectrum of a hexylchloride exhibits 5 signals. Which of the following consistent with this information? a. CC 2 C 2 Cl b. Cl C 2 CC 2 c. C C d. Cl CCC 2 Cl e. C C Cl
18. An unknown compound of formula C 11 14 2 gives the following 1 -NMR spectrum. The broadband decouple 13 C-NMR spectrum shows a characteristic peak at 174 ppm. Which of the following structures is consistent with this information? 3 2 2 2 2 3 8 7 6 5 4 PPM 3 2 1 0 a. b. c. d. e. Relative integration at 3.6-3.7 is the key here (2 singlets). Note the additive effect on the benzylic methylene protons
19. Which of the following compounds of formula C 6 14 would give a MS base peak of m/z = 43? a. C 2 C 2 C 2 C 2 b. ( C 2 ) 2 C c. ( ) 3 CC 2 d. ( ) 2 CC( ) 2 e. None of these Branching stabilizes carbocations. Mass of isopropyl group = 43 20. The data below for the isotope envelope of the molecular ion region of a halogen containing species are consistent with the presence of what halogens for the unknown compound in question? M +, I = 100.0 % M + + 2, I = 64.0 % M + + 4, I = 10.0 % a. 1 Br b. 1 Cl c. 1 Br, 1 Cl d. 2 Br e. 2 Cl The fact that 79 Br and 81 Br exist 1:1 (atomic weight 80) and 35 Cl and 37 Cl exist in a 3:1 ratio (atomic weight 35.5) is very useful diagnostically. If 1 Cl were present M+2 would be 33 % of M; if 1 Br was present, then M and M+2 would be approximately the same size; however if 2 Br were present, there would be twice the likelihood at least one of the bromine was 81 Br and so M+2 would be twice the size of M (and M+4). For 2 chlorine present, the possibility of one of the 2 positions being 37 Cl doubles DN T BE FLED! Since the ratio of 35 Cl to 37 Cl is approximately 75:25 (73:27 actual), when the 75% peak is scaled to 100%, the 25 % peak increases to 33 % (37 % actual), and 64 % for M+2 is a good indication 2 chlorine atoms are present.
