Describe the splitting that would be observed by H_a in the proton NMR spectrum,assuming H_a is coupled to all its neighboring protons in an equivalent manner. A) H_a will be split into a pentet. B) H_a will be split into a sextet. C) H_a will be split into a septet. D) H_a will be split into an octet. E) None of the above.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assuming equivalent coupling, the number of peaks in the NMR spectrum is equal to the number of adjacent, non-equivalent protons plus one, which in this case is 7. Therefore, H_a will be split into an octet.
