Answer ALL parts of this question
(a) Assign the protons in the molecules 1 and 2 below to their appropriate 1H NMR spin systems using the simplified Pople convention.

(b) Predict and sketch the precise appearance of the 1H NMR spectrum (assume 1st order appearance) of compound 2 in part (a) above. Your answer should include an illustrative splitting tree diagram to establish the appearance of one of the signals, as well as all anticipated chemical shifts derived from NMR parameter tables. A full answer will include a consideration of long-range splitting effects.
(c) A sample taken from the scene of a suspected suicide is believed to contain ibuprofen and a solution of it in D2O is prepared and subjected to 1H NMR analysis. By reference to its chemical structure below identify the intensity, multiplicity and approximate chemical shift of each signal expected in the 1H NMR spectrum of the sample. You may use NMR parameters tables provided to assist you in your estimation of chemical shifts but you do NOT need to illustrate or explain the use you have made of parameter tables in your written answer, nor do you have to explain the splitting patterns you predict.

Answer ALL parts of this question
(a) Acyclic ketones such as 1 (where X and Y indicate alkyl groups) commonly undergo α- cleavage when subjected to electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS). Give the mechanism for α-cleavage and predict the identity of the molecule that gives signals at m/z values of 100, 71 and 57 amu during EI-MS, explaining your reasoning.

i) fronting
ii) Gaussian (symmetrical)
iii) tailing
(b) Solid phase extraction (SPE) is commonly used for aqueous sample preparation prior to chromatographic analyses. Outline the process of operation of SPE with reversed phase sorbent.
(c) What are the potential problems associated with split/splitless injection for gas chromatography (GC)?
(d) Why is it necessary to use a temperature programme in GC analysis of a complex mixture? Include in your answer a sketch of the chromatograms you would expect from the analysis under isothermal and temperature-programmed conditions.
(e) Gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS) provides an effective tool for analysis. Explain ONE method of ionisation commonly used for GC-MS.

ii) the number of theoretical plates or column efficiency (N) for each peak.
iii) the height equivalent to a theoretical plate (H) for each peak
(b) Reversed phase and normal phase - high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) are used to separate organic compounds of particular polarity. Compare the two methods with respect to stationary phase polarity, mobile phase polarity, and order of analyte elution.
(c) Examine the reasons for surface deactivation of silica-based C18 column in reversed phase - HPLC.
(d) What are the advantages and disadvantages of the ‘selected ion monitoring' mode for known compounds relative to ‘full scan' mode for data acquisition in HPLC-MS?
