A clean spectrum was given to me with the integrations filled in. I just need to assign peaks.
I just don't see how it's possible to have a singlet integrate to 5 protons. I've considered symmetry, but still, 2 or 3 way symmetry wouldn't give me anything.
The chemical formula is $\ce{C11H14O2}$, with 5 degrees of unsaturation. The spectrum is as follows:
- 5H, singlet, 7.5ppm5 ppm
- 2H, singlet, 5.1ppm1 ppm
- 2H, triplet, 2.4ppm4 ppm
- 2H, quartet, (or sestetsextet?) 1.8ppm8 ppm
- 3H, triplet 1ppm, 1 ppm
I'm just looking for a hint on what a 5H singlet could be.
