Question: Compound A, a hydrocarbon with M + = 96 in its mass spectrum, has the 13 C spectral data that follow. On reaction with BH

Compound A, a hydrocarbon with M+ = 96 in its mass spectrum, has the 13C spectral data that follow. On reaction with BH3 followed by treatment with basic H2O2, A is converted into B, whose 13C spectral data are also given. Propose structures for A and B.

Compound A

Broadband-decoupled 13C NMR: 26.8, 28.7, 35.7, 106.9, 149.7δ

DEPT-90: no peaks

DEPT-135: no positive peaks; negative peaks at 26.8, 28.7, 35.7, 106.9δ

Compound B

Broadband-decoupled 13C NMR: 26.1, 26.9, 29.9, 40.5, 68.2δ

DEPT-90: 40.5 δ

DEPT-135: positive peak at 40.5 δ; negative peaks at 26.1, 26.9, 29.9, 68.2δ
