The ratios of the number of protons for the five sets peaks in the spectrum are given in the table.
δ / ppm | 3.8 | 3.5 | 2.6 | 2.2 | 1.2 |
Ratio of the number of protons | 2 | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 |
Show that all these data are consistent with the displayed formula shown.
Refer to the five chemical shifts and explain two of the splitting patterns.
Draw the structural formula of two of these isomers.
