So my lab is due tommorow at 8am. I've been trying to figure this stuff out since Wednesday, but ti just doesn't add up. I think the product is 1,1,3,3tetraphenylbutene. We added 1,1diphenylethanol to k10 clay (proton donor) and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.
Anyways, the NMR spectrum seems to show 19 aromatic H's, 1 bromoalkane, ROR, or ROH, an alkyene or iodoalkane, and a tertiary H.... which doesn't make sense!! I don't know what other product it could be, because while an ether might make sense here, it doesn't match up with the mass spec.
We have molecular ions as 360, 345, 238, 269, and 77, which we have to show what fragments apply to what, and i've figured out all of those according to the product i think it is, except for 269.
*delete me*!! I'm stuck:(
