A ketone with a formula of C5H10O undergoes alkylation, but can give two isomeric products depending on the reaction conditions. Each of these potential products (A and B) has the forumla C6H12O.
The nmr spectrum of A is a doublet at 1.0 ppm (6H), a triplet at 1.2 ppm(3H), a quartet at 2.6ppm(2H) and a septet at 3.0ppm(1H).
The nmr spectrum of B has two singlets, one at 1ppm and the other at 2.5 ppm. The singlet at 2.5 ppm has 1/3 the area of the siglet at 1ppm.
a) Determine the structure of A and B
b) Give the structure of the starting meterial.
c) Determione the mechanism that wil give each of these products.
