4a. The NMR spectra shown has the formula C10H12O2. Their infrared spectra show strong bands near
1735 cm-1. The proton area between 7.0 and 7.5 ppm shows up as a multiplet (no need to interpret
each peak). The integration values for each signal is given (in the square bracket just below the signals).
Draw the structure of the compound and explain your reasoning for your proposed chemical structure.

Example:
Once you have decided on a chemical structure; drawn in the structure and indicate which signal is
associated with the corresponding Hydrogen atom. As follows;

4b. Assign a structure to the 1H and 13C spectrum with formula C7H14O. CDCl3 is the solvent in which
the sample is dissolved and does not need interpretation. Explain your reasoning for your proposed
chemical structure. [7]
4c. The following are the 1H and 13C spectra for a bromoalkane with formula C4H9Br. Assign a
structure to each pair of spectra giving reasons for your proposed chemical structure. [7]
4d. A compound with formula C10H14 shows 1H-NMR signals at δ (ppm): 7.2 (multiplet, 5H); 2.5
(triplet, 2H); 1.6 (quintet, 2H); 1.4 (sextet, 2H) and 0.90 (triplet, 3H). Draw the structure of this
compound and explain your answer by assigning each of the H’s to a signal. [7]
