15. Q 2) the 'H NMR of the alkene part of
the Claisen rearrangement product.
1) What are the coupling patterns (singlet, doublet,
etc) for Ha, Hb, and Hc?
2) As terminal vinyl hydrogens, Hb and Hc have
very similar chemical shifts. How would you
differentiate Hb from Hc?
3) Draw splitting pattern for 'H NMR signals of Hb
and Hc.
