STRUCTURE DETERMINATION PROBLEMS USING IR AND
PROTON NMR SPECTROSCOPY
Determine the structure of the six compounds whose IR and PMR spectra are
provided on the attached sheets, given the following comments about the provided
information and spectra,
PMR Spectra The PMR spectrum of each compound is provided, along with peak
areas. The peak areas are given as the simplest whole number ratio of protons and
are indicated (for example, 4H). Your final structure must be consistent with the
chemical shift, peak areas and splitting pattern. Show which protons in the
molecule are responsible for each set of peaks.
Molecular Formula The molecular formula is given in the upper right-hand corner
of each sheet. You don't need the MW or Percent by Weight information.
IR Spectra The absorption frequencies printed on the IR spectra are in cm’ona
