We start with compound A :
On heating it with 1,1-Diethoxyethene, we get compound X . It undergoes the next set of reactions sequentially:
In presence of a mild oxidising agent an unstable intermediate is formed. This intermediate reacts with compound A on mild heating to give Y
Y reacts with another oxidising agent (slightly stronger than the previous one) to generate another unstable intermediate. On reaction with and excess amount of generates compound B . We do not allow B to undergo any further reactions.
We now analyse compound B 's spectra. Let be the number of signals obtained in H-NMR and be the number of signals obtained in the NMR.
What is the value of ?
Bonus :
Try interpreting the multiplet(s) in compound B 's H-NMR spectra.
