CNMR Problem
« on: December 15, 2010, 08:03:11 PM »
C9H12O3

161 C (3)
93  CH (3)
55  CH3 (3)

anyone know the structure ?

PS: (3) means there's 3 of them and they're equivalent...I'm sure most of you knew that tho.

What have you figured out so far?

Hint: it's a trisubstituted benzene.

I kind of thought that it was a benzene since it has a du of 4 ....then the 161 points to esters and the 55 points to the ch3's bonded to the oxygens...i guess i didnt know how to arrange them on the ring so that everything was equivalent

The peak at 161 ppm does not correspond to an ester.
