The correct match for the protons labeled in compound X in Column M with the corresponding chemical shifts ($\delta$, ppm) in Column N is

Column MColumn N
P. $H_a$I. 7.00 (ddd, $J = 8.4, 7.3, 1.4$ Hz, 1H)
Q. $H_b$II. 7.17 (dd, $J = 8.4, 1.4$ Hz, 1H)
R. $H_c$III. 7.59 (ddd, $J = 8.4, 7.3, 1.4$ Hz, 1H)
S. $H_d$IV. 8.12 (dd, $J = 8.4, 1.4$ Hz, 1H)

The correct answer is
P $\rightarrow$ II; Q $\rightarrow$ III; R $\rightarrow$ I; S $\rightarrow$ IV

To solve this problem, we need to assign the chemical shifts of the protons labeled in compound X to the correct values in Column N based on their positions in the aromatic ring. The compound X is a substituted benzene ring, so the chemical shifts will depend on the electronic effects of the substituents:

  1. Analyzing Substituent Effects:
    • The -OH group is an electron-donating group, which tends to activate the ortho and para positions to electrophilic aromatic substitution, but it usually doesn't affect the chemical shifts heavily compared to electron-withdrawing groups.
    • The -NO2 group is a strong electron-withdrawing group due to its resonance and inductive effects. This group will deshield the ortho and para protons, leading to downfield shifts (higher ppm values).
  2. Assigning Chemical Shifts:
    • Proton Ha: This is ortho to the -OH group and meta to the -NO2 group. The presence of the -OH group should slightly deshield this proton. Thus, a moderate ppm value like 7.17 is likely.
    • Proton Hb: This is para to the -NO2 group, resulting in a significant downfield shift. The value 7.59 is suitable here.
    • Proton Hc: This proton is also ortho to -NO2, experiencing considerable deshielding by the electron-withdrawing group. It corresponds to a chemical shift of 7.00.
    • Proton Hd: This proton is directly ortho to -NO2 and is highly deshielded, resulting in the highest chemical shift, 8.12.

Conclusion: By analyzing the substituents’ effects on chemical shifts, we find the best matches:

  • P ($H_a$) → II (7.17 ppm)
  • Q ($H_b$) → III (7.59 ppm)
  • R ($H_c$) → I (7.00 ppm)
  • S ($H_d$) → IV (8.12 ppm)

This matches with the option:

P → II; Q → III; R → I; S → IV
