Compound 6 Using the material covered in CHEM2210 you should be able to narrow the structure down to either 2-furoic acid or 3-furoic acid:

H

2-furoic acid

3-furoic acid

To distinguish between these two possibilities requires detailed knowledge of coupling constants between protons attached to the furan ring:
1-2 Hz H 3-4 Hz H H
3 4 5 2

O H 1-2 Hz

0-1 Hz

From the coupling constant information, you can see that a relatively large coupling (3-4 Hz) exists between the protons at 3 and 4 positions of the furan ring. If you closely examine the coupling constants from the spectrum, you can see that there is one coupling constant significantly larger than the others, so the compound must be 2-furoic acid. If the compound was 3-furoic acid, all couplings would be small (less than 2 Hz). Consideration of coupling constant information allows the following assignment of the 1H NMR spectrum to be made: IR & 1H NMR

To assign the 13C NMR spectrum, the CO2H carbon is easy (based on chemical shift). The quaternary carbon is most likely the carbon with the smallest signal, and the other carbon in the ring adjacent to O is most likely the remaining carbon with a relatively downfield
