Question 4: You generate an unknown compound during a reaction. The molecular formula was determined to be C5H10O2 using high-resolution mass spectrometry. Propose a chemical structure that is consistent with the following IR and NMR data. Justify your proposal by labeling diagnostic IR peaks and assign 1H and 13C NMR spectra as fully as possible. (20 pts) IR (neat):
Question 5: Fully assign the 1H and 13C NMR spectra for the following compound. Label your assignments directly on the spectra provided. COSY and HSQC spectra are provided to assist in your assignment. (20 pts)
Bonus: The following compound—from a class of materials called annulenes—has two peaks in the 1H NMR spectrum: one peak is at 9.17 ppm and the other peak is at −2.96 ppm. Which protons resonate at these frequencies? Explain your assignment and discuss the reason for the large shielding and deshielding observed in this molecule. (You are not required to discuss multiplicity).
