Problem 4
Formula: C6H14O
Spectroscopy Reference
Show Unsaturation answer
C6H14O
Rule 2, omit O, gives C6H14
6 - 14/2 + 1 = 0 degrees of unsaturation.
No pi bonds or rings.
Show IR answer
The broad band at 3350 indicates O-H stretch, probably an alcohol. The bands at 3000-2850 indicate C-H alkane stretches. The bands from 1320-1000 indicate C-O stretch, consistent with an alcohol.
Show Structure answer
This is the structure. See if you can assign the peaks on your own.
Show NMR answer
As noted, C and D are not equivalent even though they're on the same carbon.
