Question

What part of this compound gives rise to the peak the furthest downfield (12.79 ppm) in the 1H NMR spectrum?                                a.            Aromatic protons                             b.            Proton attached to the oxygen of the hydroxyl group                             c.            Carbonyl group                             d.            No protons absorb this far downfield, therefore it must be an impurity What part of this compound gives rise to the peak the furthest downfield (12.79 ppm) in the 1H NMR spectrum?
