Question:

The species resulting from the addition of benzene to HF – SbF5 (Exercise 15-24) shows the following 13C NMR absorptions: δ = 52.2(CH2), 136.9(CH), 178.1(CH), and 186.6(CH) ppm. The signals at δ = 136.9 and δ = 186.6 are twice the intensity of the other peaks. Assign this spectrum.


Exercise 15-24

Professor G. Olah* and his colleagues exposed benzene to the especially strong acid system HF – SbF5 in an NMR tube and observed a new 1H NMR spectrum with absorptions at δ = 5.69 (2 H), 8.22 (2 H), 9.42 (1 H), and 9.58 (2 H) ppm. Propose a structure for this species.
