Label the unknown compounds in the bottles w<strong>it</strong>h IUPAC names, using theNMR spectra given in the figure.b. In the 1 H-NMR spectrum of B, assign the peak pos<strong>it</strong>ions to specific protons.c. Calculate the spin-spin coupling constants for protons of compound B.d. Convert the peak pos<strong>it</strong>ions of the first four lines into Hz (refer to theTable).What will be the peak pos<strong>it</strong>ions of these lines in Hz, if the spectrum isrecorded on a 600 MHz instrument?e. Draw the possible structure of Meldrum's acid.f. Meldrum's acid has pK a = 4.83. Explain the acid<strong>it</strong>y of Meldrum’s acid.g. Give the structure of the condensation product of Meldrum's acid w<strong>it</strong>h anaromatic aldehyde.2424Mumbai, India, July 2001
