Question


Propose a structural formula for compound EE, an oily liquid with the molecular formula C₈H₉NO₂. Compound EE is insoluble in water and aqueous NaOH, but dissolves in 10% HCl. When its solution in HCl is neutralized with NaOH, compound EE is recovered unchanged. A ¹H-NMR spectrum of compound EE shows signals at 𝛿 3.84 (s, 3H), 4.18 (s, 2H), 7.60 (d, 2H), and 8.70 (d, 2H). (See Examples 11.15, 11.16)

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 11 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Propose a structural formula for compound EE, an oily liquid with the molecular formula C₈H₉NO₂. Compound EE is insoluble in water and aqueous NaOH, but dissolves in 10% HCl. When its solution in HCl is neutralized with NaOH, compound EE is recovered unchanged. A ¹H-NMR spectrum of compound EE shows signals at 𝛿 3.84 (s, 3H), 4.18 (s, 2H), 7.60 (d, 2H), and 8.70 (d, 2H). (See Examples 11.15, 11.16)
From the textbook chapter Spectroscopy you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
