Use the 1H NMR spectrum from the phenacetin analog synthesis shown below. Assign the doublets in the aromatic region based on the calculated electrostatic coefficients generated using the semi-empirical force field in the Spartan Software. Recall that electron density at the carbon correlates with patterns of shielding and deshielding. Table of Electrostatic Charges From Spartan Numbering system from Spartan shown at left C1: ?0.431 C4 : ?0.284 C2: ?0.223 C6 : +0.520 C5 : ?0.372 C3 : +0.366 NOTE: A carbanion has a coefficient of ?1 and a cation has a coefficient of +1. Q1. Based on the electrostatic coefficients, which two aromatic carbon atoms have the highest amount of electron density? Q2. Based on the electrostatic coefficients, which two aromatic carbon atoms have the second highest amount of electron density? Q1. Carbons with highest electron density? Q2. Carbons with second highest electron density?
