A compound X with the formula C₄H₁₀O₂ has the NMR spectrum shown. The integrals are given over their respective resonances, and the J values are coupling constants. Deduce the structure of compound X and explain how you came to this conclusion. Hints: (1) The only chemical shift information you need is that protons on carbons $\delta$ to an oxygen have chemical shifts in the $\delta$ 3.2-$\delta$ 4.0 range. (2) You do not need to interpret the complex splittings at $\delta$ 3.22, $\delta$ 3.37, and $\delta$3.9 to deduce the structure, but you will need to interpret the splittings in the gray boxes.
