- Consider the structure of benzaldehyde and its three resonance structures. Add curved arrows to the resonance structures for benzaldehyde to illustrate the electron-withdrawing group's effect on the aromatic ring. The four resonance structures are shown. :0: :ö: :0: Resonance structure A Resonance structure B Resonance structure C Resonance structure Darrow_forwardWhen the 1î-NMR spectrum of acetone, CH3COCH3, is recorded on an instrument operating at 200 MHz, a single sharp resonance at 2.1î is seen. (a) How many hertz downfield from TMS does the acetone resonance correspond to? (b) If the 1î-NMR spectrum of acetone were recorded at 500 MHz, what would the position of the absorption be in î units? (c) How many hertz downfield from TMS does this 500 MHz resonance correspond to?arrow_forward15.10 Analyzing a 'H NMR Spectrum A compound has the molecular formula of C3HgO. It exhibits 4 peaks in its ¹H NMR spectrum. These peaks are (in 6): 3.6 (2H, t). 2.3 (1H, broad), 1.6 (2H, sextet). 1.05 (3H, t). Which of the following compounds is consistent with this data?

Include ALL resonance structures with arrows and explain reasoning for rank.arrow_forwardral compounds synthesized by flowers of the genus Chrysanthemum 15.81 Pyrethrins, such as jasmolin II (below), are a group of ne (known as pyrethrum flowers) to act as insecticides. (a) Circle and name the functional groups in jasmolin II. (b) What is the hybridization of the numbered carbons? (c) Which, if any, of the numbered carbons are chiral centers? CH3 CH2=CH-CH, 3. 4 CH-C-O-HC5 C-C-O-CH3 CH3-C H,C-C CH3arrow_forwardIn Section 15.5c, we learned that the frequency of a C=0 stretch decreases when the c=0 bond is conjugated to a C=C bond. Draw the pertinent resonance contributor of a conjugated carbonyl (C=C-c=0) and, based on the resulting resonance hybrid, explain why the frequency decreases.arrow_forward
