URGENT!!!! I need help figuring out which product I have, attached is the H’NMR of the product. I also attached the IR spectrum. * I used a solvent for the IR so I attactched both the product IR and the solvent IR

e Grighard reagent phenylmagnesium bromi and treat it with an unknown carbonyl compound, as shown below.

Explanation / Answer

IR spectra cannot be useful to distinguish both products as both products contain similar functional groups such as alkyl, aromatic and hydroxy groups.

H- NMR 2.3-2.5 delta due to OH group and solvent protons

4.5 - due to one alkyl group

5.7 - due to another alkyl group

As these two alkyl group s attached to most electronegative gr OH and aromatic ring hence their chemical shift values are more I.e down field..

7.2 - 7.8 are due to aromatic protons.

From the two products first product have two alkyl group s hence the formed component is first and the reactant is ketone
