Chapter 21, Problem 21.64SP
A chemist was called to an abandoned aspirin factory to determine the contents of a badly corroded vat. Knowing that two salvage workers had become ill from breathing the fumes, she put on her breathing apparatus as soon as she noticed an overpowering odor like that of vinegar but much more pungent. She entered the building and took a sample of the contents of the vat. The mass spectrum showed a molecular weight of 102, and the NMR spectrum showed only a singlet at δ2.15. The IR spectrum, which appears here, left no doubt about the identity of the compound. Identify the compound, and suggest a method for its safe disposal.

identify the compound with molecular formula C2H6O that gives this 1H NMR spectrum.
The H1H1 NMR spectrum shown corresponds to an unknown compound with the molecular formula C6H10C6H10. There are no strong IR bands between 2100 and 2300 or 3250 and 3350 cm−1. Deduce and draw the structure of the molecule that corresponds to the spectrum.
Elucidate the structure using the 1H and 13C NMR data.
