Answer 1

definitely an alcohol

Answer 2

Yes, there's defintly an alcohol. The peak @ about 3590 shows this clearly.

Answer 3

im guesing this:3-methyl-1-penten-3-ol

Answer 4

high peak on 3000 is a double bond and its position

Answer 5

Alkenes show peaks at ~1600
alkynes show strong & sharp peaks at about 3000.

Answer 6

oh yeah, ur right I forgot about that. but the high peak on 3000 can be several things

Answer 7

i know there is a methyl, an alcohol, and a double bond but i don't know how to put all the pieces together

Answer 8

with the nrm thats the only way

Answer 9

Yeah. NMR is tough. I used to just use the best possible educated guess when I encountered them.

Answer 10

as far as NMR, I you look at at at the peaks, I believe you count the number of peaks and add 1. That is the number of different hydrogens on that a carbon. I think. I could be wrong tho?

Answer 11

it's peaks -1 hydrogen because of the n+1 rule

Answer 12

just found my chemical instrumental analysis notebook, let me check and maybe ill get the answer

Answer 13

my final guess is the compound I already told you. or maybe very similar to that
