To determine the number of distinct triplets in the ¹H NMR of the compound, we need to look at the neighboring protons. The proton at S1 will produce a doublet, the proton at U1 will produce a triplet, the proton at P11 will produce a triplet, the proton at S1' will produce a doublet, and the proton at P0 will produce a doublet. To calculate the number of distinct triplets, we need to find any triplets that have overlapping chemical shifts due to coupling with multiple neighboring protons. In this case, the triplets from the protons at U1 and P11 will overlap, as they are both coupled to the proton at S1. Similarly, the doublets from the protons at S1 and S1' will overlap. Therefore, we only expect to see two distinct triplets in the spectrum.
