The 1 H NMR spectrum of phenol exhibits three signals in
Chapter 19, Problem 19.77(choose chapter or problem)
The 1 H NMR spectrum of phenol exhibits three signals in the aromatic region of the spectrum. These signals appear at 6.7, 6.8, and 7.2 ppm. Use your understanding of shielding and deshielding effects (Chapter 16) to determine which signal corresponds with the meta protons. Explain your reasoning.

ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
This exercise tells us that the \({ }^{1} \mathrm{H}\) NMR spectrum of phenol exhibits three signals in the aromatic region of the spectrum. These signals appear at \(6.7,6.8\), and \(7.2 \mathrm{ppm}\). The \({ }^{1} \mathrm{H}\) NMR spectrum of phenol is shown below.
