Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restatement and options: - a) Splitting pattern for a is choose from: singlet, triplet, doublet, quartet. - b) Splitting pattern for b is choose from: quartet, singlet, triplet, doublet. - c) Splitting pattern for c is choose from: quartet, triplet, singlet, doublet. - d) Splitting pattern for d is choose from: doublet, quartet, singlet, triplet. - e) For the molecular ion peaks, choose from: 169 and 170, 168.9 and 170.9, 168 and 169, 168 and 170. - Provided answers: a = doublet; b = triplet; c = doublet; d = singlet; mass peaks = 168 and 170. Analysis of each option: - Part a) Why a would be a doublet in this molecule: The splitting pattern of the proton labeled a is determined by the number of equivalent protons on the neighboring carbon atoms (n+1 rule). In this structure, the proton(s) adjacent to a couple in a way that effectively halves the multiplicity when there is one dominant coupling partner, leading to a doublet. If a were to couple with two equivalent neighbors, you would expect a triplet; however, the local connectivity and possible exchange-friendly OH environment often reduce visible coupling for OH/acid-hydroxyl-type protons. The observed environment here tends to produce a simpler doublet pattern for a in typical......Login to view full explanation
