Today, I performed an NMR Spectroscopy on an unknown solution containing an arene and a carboxylic acid. I am having a difficult time figuring out the chemical structure based on the NMR spectra. Below is the data:
Chemical Formula:
C9H10O4
Proton NMR:
7.0 ppm - multiplet - four hydrogens
4.6 ppm - singlet - two hydrogens
3.9 ppm - singlet - three hydrogens
11.0 ppm - singlet - one hydrogen
Carbon NMR:
Peaks at 173.0, 149.9, 147.2, 123.7, 121.2, 116.4, 112.3, 67.6, and 55.9
The multiplet at 7.0 ppm are the arene hydrogens, and the singlet at 11.0 is an OH group, correct?
(See attached picture for the structure I came up with; is it correct?)
