Organic chem. NMR spectra
« on: September 06, 2009, 03:07:44 PM »
The 1H NMR spectrum of a compound with molecular formula C6H12O is shown here. Draw its structure.

the degrees of unsaturation=1 and there are only two types of protons. The problem Im having is drawing the structure correctly according to the two singlets. Thanx a lot.

Singlets are a very strong hint, but check what is protons ratio first.

having singlets simply means there are no adjacent protons to split each other's signals.
can u be a bit more helpful?

Not many structures that fit such description. Proton ratio makes number of these structures even lower.

That means 9 protons and 3 protons - two separated structures.
