Q

After working up the reaction, the student only obtained a 13C NMR. The following peaks appeared on the spectrum: 198.4, 154.3, 124.3, 31.6, 27.6, 20.6 ppm. Did the reaction work? Justify by assigning peaks to the correct carbons.

A

No, the reaction did not work. The 13C peaks at 154.3 and 124.3 ppm correspond to either aromatic or C=C carbons. The b-hydroxy ketone does not have aromatic or C=C carbons. The product would be expected to have 4 peaks deshielded to the chloroform solvent peak.

Q

The carbonyl stretching frequency of 2-cyclohexenone and 2-pentanone are very different. The frequencies are as follows: 1680 and 1720 cm-1. Please identify the carbonyl stretching frequency of each, and give a brief explanation to support your answer.

Q

An undergraduate student attempted the following reduction. After working up the reaction, the student only obtained a 13C NMR. The following peaks appeared on the spectrum: 197.7, 144.0, 132.3, 27.5, and 19.0 ppm. Did the reaction work? Justify by assigning peaks to the correct carbons.

A

The reaction did NOT work because the peak at 197.7 ppm corresponds to a ketone. The product does not have a ketone.
