Question
a. Since both compounds have four types of carbon atoms, more information would be needed. b. The carbonyl carbon would appear around 200 ppm for the ketone while the sp2 carbon atoms of the alcohol would appear between 100-150 ppm. Please explain how to distinguish between the compounds shown here using only carbon -13 NMR. Since both compounds have four types of carbon atoms, more information would be needed. The carbonyl carbon would appear around 200 ppm for the ketone while the sp2 carbon atoms of the alcohol would appear between 100-150 ppm.
Explanation / Answer
The carbonyl carbon would appear around 200 ppm for the ketone while the sp2 carbon atoms of the alcohol would appear between 100-150 ppm.
