  2. Suggest a synthetic scheme to convert the compound on the left to the compound on the right. (10 points)

EXTRA CREDIT Provide IUPAC names for the starting material and the product. (10 EC points)

CHEM 12B (L1/L1L) INSTRUCTOR: S. CORLETT Exam 3 practice exam, answers Page 7 of 9

  1. Show a starting material and the required reagents to obtain the product shown below. Also, provide an IUPAC name for the product.

(15 points)

  1. The included spectra are for a compound with molecular formula C 6 H 10 O 5. In the 1 H NMR spectrum, subsequent addition of D 2 O resulted in the disappearance of the peak at ~3.5 ppm. Show the structure of this compound and for full credit assign the spectroscopic data – i.e., chemical shifts to each type of carbon and proton, IR frequencies, and mass spec. fragments. (15 points) EXTRA CREDIT explain the splitting pattern at 2.8 ppm in the 1 H NMR spectrum. (5 EC points)
