The compound that gives the
1
H NMR spectrum is 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one. The singlet at 2.3 ppm
that integrates to 3 protons is the methyl group. Because the benzene ring protons that show signals
between 7 and 8 ppm apparently integrate to 6 protons, we know that the signals include one of the vinylic
protons of the double bond. The other vinyl proton is the doublet (6.7 ppm) that integrates to 1 proton. The
compounds that would form this compound (via an aldol condensation) are benzaldehyde and acetone.
