Question

Like hydrogen, fluorine-19 (abundance 100%) has a nuclear spin quantum number, I = 1/2.  Therefore, 19F spin couples with 1H nuclei and split 1H NMR signals by following n + 1 rule in a fluorine containing compound.  However, the 1H-19F coupling constants are much larger than the 1H-1H coupling constants.  For example, 2JH-F is about 45-50 Hz whereas 3JH-F is about 20-22 Hz.  

A compound with the formula C2H4BrF has the following NMR spectrum.  Draw the structure for this compound.

Using the Hertz values on the expansions, calculate the coupling constants and completely explain the spectrum by drawing splitting diagrams for each equivalent hydrogen.
