The question shows a NMR Spectrum and the answer says that choice B best reflects the picture shown. But the answer explanation seems to be off from the pic.


I found a NMR of what that compound "should" look like, and its not the same thing..

Mistake?

I do not think it is a mistake. We have to select an answer choice that gives 4 distinct proton signals (C and E). E is not correct because of the acidic proton on the COOH. Therefore, C is your answer. 🙂

For 228 in Destroyer 2013 the answer is B (and there is only 1 distinct signal at 2.4, at least in my book)

I apologize, I meant to say B as the correct answer! There are 4 signals.

1) alcohol Proton
2) Aromatic Proton (2 equivalent)
3) Aromatic Proton (2 more equivalent)
4) Methyl protons
 
Yes. The correct answer is B. There is no peak for aldehyde or carboxy acid. There is no triplet or quartet. The only choice is B
