What is the structure of the compound in the following ¹H-NMR spectrum with the molecular formula C₈H₁₅ClO₃,which shows a characteristic stretch in the IR around 1750 cm^-1 but not around 3500 cm^-1,and a characteristic peak at 173 ppm in the ¹³C-NMR? Relative integration is shown.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The presence of a characteristic stretch in the IR around 1750 cm-1 suggests the compound has a carbonyl group. The 173 ppm peak in the 113C-NMR corresponds to a carbonyl carbon. The absence of a characteristic peak around 3500 cm-1 suggests there are no hydroxyl (-OH) or amine (-NH) groups, eliminating options A, B, D, and E. The molecular formula suggests the presence of an ester group.
Option C matches all of these observations, with the ester group represented by the O=C-O moiety, and the absence of any hydroxyl (-OH) or amine (-NH) groups.
