The acid-catalyzed dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol yields a mixture of two alkenes. How could you use 1H NMR to help you decide which was which?
Solution
VerifiedH NMR spectra can be used to distinguish the two products of the acid-catalyzed dehydration of 1-methylcyclohexanol.
The H NMR spectrum of corresponding to the four nonequivalent protons of the symmetric molecule. Proton (a) is attributed to the hydrogen of the =CH group. The three remaining nonequivalent protons (b), (c), and (d) are attributed to the CH groups of the ring.
On the other hand, the H NMR spectrum of corresponding to the six nonequivalent protons. Proton (a) is from the CH group. Proton (b) is from the =CH- group. Protons (c), (d), (e), and (f) are from the CH groups of the ring.
