Question:

You work for a reputable chemical supply house. An angry customer, Fly Ofterhandle, has called, alleging that a sample of 2,5-hexanediol he purchased cannot be the correct compound. As evidence, he cites its 13C NMR spectrum:8 23.2, 8 23.5, 8 35.1, 8 35.8, 8 67.4, 8 67.8

(Notice that the spectrum contains three sets of two closely spaced absorptions.) After verifying the 13C NMR spectrum, you can confidently assure him that the sample he purchased contains only 2,5-hexanediol. Explain why the 13C NMR spectrum is consistent with this claim.
