All four spectra show a singlet at
2.0
ppm, suggesting that they are all esters with a methyl group attached
to the carbonyl group. Now the problem becomes determining the nature of the group attached to the oxygen.

The highest frequency signal in the first spectrum is a triplet that integrates to 2 protons, indicating
that a
CH
2
group is attached to the oxygen and is bonded to another
CH
2
group. The lowest frequency
signal is a triplet that integrates to 3 protons, indicating a methyl group that is attached to a
CH
2
group.
The presence of two multiplets that each integrate to 2 protons confirms the structure.

The highest frequency signal in the second spectrum is a multiplet that integrates to 1 proton, indicat-
ing that the carbon attached to the oxygen is attached to one proton and two nonequivalent carbons
bonded to hydrogens. The lowest frequency signal is a triplet that integrates to 3 protons, indicating a
methyl group attached to a
CH
2
group. The doublet at
1.2
ppm that integrates to 3 protons is due to a
methyl group attached to a carbon bonded to one hydrogen.

The highest frequency signal is a doublet that integrates to 2 protons, indicating that the methylene
group that is attached to the oxygen is attached to a carbon bonded to one hydrogen. The lowest fre-
quency signal that integrates to 6 protons indicates two equivalent methyl groups that are attached to a
carbon bonded to one hydrogen.
