Question 2 C10H12O2
1
H NMR Assignments
The pattern of the signals in the aromatic region (7 – 8 ppm) which appear as a
pair of doublets are indicative of a 1,4-disubstituted benzene ring. Each doublet
integrates for two protons.

d 7.95, doublet

O
d 4.35, quartet
d 2.38, singlet Me

Me
d 1.38, triplet
d 7.22, doublet

The aromatic signal at d 7.95 is due to the protons ortho to the ester carbonyl
group. This electron withdrawing group causes deshielding of the signal.

C NMR Assignments
It is not necessary to assign all the signals in the aromatic region.

(*) at 128.0 and 129.3 ppm – assignment difficult both give + in DEPT 135.
The signal at 166 ppm is typical for conjugated ester carbonyl carbons.

IR Assignment
Intense band at 1720 cm-1 typical of a conjugated ester carbonyl group.
