Predict the splitting pattern for each of the indicated hydrogens in Assessment 15.59.
(d)

Draw a diagram like the one shown in Figure 14.12 to predict

a. the relative intensities of the peaks in a triplet.

For the hydrogen(s) screened in blue, draw the signal you would expect to see in a ¹H NMR spectrum. At which chemical shift would the signal appear?

(c)

For the hydrogen(s) screened in blue, draw the signal you would expect to see in a ¹H NMR spectrum. At which chemical shift would the signal appear?

(e)

A chemist made what was thought to be compound A or B. How could coupling constants between H_a and H_b be used to distinguish between the two isomers? [Hint: Draw a chair conformation of each.]

Draw the expected signal for a hydrogen with the following coupling constants.

(b) Hₐ : δ 3.34 (Jₐ꜀ = 9 , Jₐ₆ = 4 )

Though it wasn't discussed, what coupling constant would you expect for Hₐ and H꜀ in the spectrum of trans-but-2-enoic acid in Figure 15.50? Justify your answer.

Sketch the signals you would expect to see for Hₐ in the molecule shown. The important coupling constants are given.
