A compound has two signals in the ¹³C NMR spectrum and a single signal in the ¹H-NMR spectrum. Which is most likely the compound?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

2,2-Dimethylpropane would show two signals in its ^13C NMR spectrum due to the presence of two types of carbon environments (the central carbon and the methyl carbons) and a single signal in its ^1H NMR spectrum because all the hydrogen atoms are in the same environment, making it the correct choice.
