First Considerations
The proton spectrum consists of two signal groups.
There are two chemically distinguishable protons
whose number is not yet known, i.e. n H
a
and m H
b
.
We need the values of n and m.
The molecular formula results in one double bond equivalent.
The structural fragments H-Cl, H-H and H
2
O are not
possible. In each case we would end in a mixture of at
least two components.
n H
a
m H
b
The structural fragment –OH is not excluded.
