Chapter 12, Problem 46SP(choose chapter or problem)
An unknown compound gives a molecular ion of 𝑚/𝑧 70 in the mass spectrum. It reacts with semicarbazide hydrochloride to give a crystalline derivative, but it gives a negative Tollens test. The NMR and IR spectra follow. Propose a structure for this compound, and give peak assignments to account for the absorptions in the spectra. Explain why the signal at \(1790 \mathrm{~cm}^{-1}\) in the IR spectrum appears at an unusual frequency.
