What is the structure of the compound in the following ¹H-NMR spectrum with the molecular formula C₈H₁₄? Relative integration is shown.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By counting the number of H-NMR signals and using the molecular formula, we can deduce the possible structure of the compound. In this case, there are five different types of protons, which suggests five different environments in the molecule.
Looking at the possible structures, choice D has five different types of atoms: one S, two U, one P, one B. This corresponds to the five different types of protons detected in the spectrum. Also, the relative integration of the peaks matches the expected ratios for each type of proton in the proposed structure. Therefore, D is the best choice.
