Which of the following is the maximum multiplicity observed for H_c protons in the following compound? Assume that J_cd and J_cb values are different.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The maximum multiplicity observed for H_c protons is 6. This can occur when there are two neighboring protons on both sides of the H_c proton, each with a different coupling constant (J_cd and J_cb). This would lead to a multiplet with 6 lines (3 doublets) in a 1:2:1:2:1:2 ratio, corresponding to the possible combinations of coupling to the neighboring protons. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
