1. How would you distinguish between the following pair of compounds using mass spectrometry? (5 points):
2. Identify which of the following compounds is expected to have the largest λmax in its UV-vis spectrum. Briefly explain. (5 points):
5. How would you use 1 H NMR spectroscopy to distinguish between the following pair of compounds? (5 points):
6. Identify the number of signals expected in both the 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra of each of the following compounds. (10 points): OCH (^3) CH 3

3. In their IR spectra, the νC=C for pent-3-en-2-one is 1600 cm-1^ while νC=C for pent- 4-en-2-one is 1650 cm-1^. Use resonance structures to explain why the C=C bond in the conjugated compound produces a signal at lower frequency. (5 points) O O O
Due to resonance, this bond has less double-bond character and resonates at lower frequency.
Resonance not possible for pent-4-en-2-one; this is just a regular double bond.
pent-3-en-2-one
4. Describe how IR spectroscopy can be used to monitor the progress of the following reaction. (5 points):
Ni
The starting material is a conjugated enone and the νC=O will be at lower frequency (around 1680 cm-1^ ) than the product (a simple ketone with νC=O around 1720 cm -1^ ). So, look for the disappearance of the lower frequency carbonyl stretch with appearance of the higher frequency signal.
5. How would you use 1 H NMR spectroscopy to distinguish between the following pair of compounds? (5 points):
Just count signals. Due to symmetry the first compound will have three signals, but the second compound will have six signals.
6. Identify the number of signals expected in both the 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra of each of the following compounds. (10 points): OCH (^3) CH 3
