The compound that shows the following spectral data is,
IR : 1720 cm−1
1H-NMR (ppm) : 1.30 (t, J = 7Hz, 3H), 1.93(s, 3H), 4.19(q, J = 7Hz, 2H), 5.58 (d, J = 3Hz, 1H), 6.15(d, J = 3Hz, 1H)
Answer: B
The compound is ethyl methacrylate, CH2=C(CH3)COOCH2CH3.
Read the data piece by piece:
- 1.30 (t, 3H) and 4.19 (q, 2H), both J = 7 Hz: an ethyl group on oxygen, O-CH2CH3, as in an ethyl ester.
- 1.93 (s, 3H): a methyl on a carbon with no hydrogens, here the alkene carbon.
- 5.58 and 6.15 (each d, 1H, J = 3 Hz): two non-equivalent =CH2 protons with a small geminal coupling.
- IR 1720 cm−1: a conjugated ester C=O.
Option A is an enol acetate: its ethyl CH2 sits on carbon, near 2.2 ppm, not on oxygen at 4.19, and it has an acetyl singlet near 2.1 rather than a vinyl methyl. Option C, isopropenyl propanoate, likewise has its CH2 quartet near 2.4 ppm instead of an OCH2 at 4.19, and enol esters absorb near 1760 cm−1. Option D, an enol ether ketone, has two vinyl protons coupled trans with J of about 12 Hz, not two 3 Hz doublets.
