NMR of this compound
« on: August 16, 2008, 10:10:55 PM »
I was wondering if anyone can help understand the 1H NMR of this compound:
       Br     H
       |      |
CH3-C -   C-CH3
       |      |
       CH3  CH3
(sorry about the spacing, it was getting tight there)

I am not seeing how this is: a singlet, a doublet, and septet

The two CH3's on the left have no hydrogen on the connecting carbon, so they are not split at all.
The CH on the right has two CH3 (each with 3 hydrogens) groups connected, so n+1, makes that 6+1 = 7.
The two CH3's on the right have the one hydogen on the connecting carbon, so they are split into a doublet.
