The total number of lines expected (due to spin-spin coupling of proton with fluorine and deuterium nuclei) in the $^1H$ NMR spectrum of the following compound is ________

To determine the number of lines expected in the 1H NMR spectrum of the compound, we need to consider the spin-spin coupling of the proton with the fluorine (F) and deuterium (D) nuclei.

Step-by-step Calculation:

  1. Spin of nuclei:
    • Deuterium (D) has a nuclear spin quantum number of 1.
    • Fluorine (F) has a nuclear spin quantum number of 1/2.
  2. Calculate coupling patterns:
    • The coupling of H with D is given by (2nD + 1), where nD = 1 (spin of deuterium), resulting in 3 lines.
    • The coupling of H with F is given by (2nF + 1), where nF = 1/2 (spin of fluorine), resulting in 2 lines.
  3. Combine couplings:
    • Both nuclei will couple independently with H. The total number of lines will be the product of individual couplings: 3 (from D) × 2 (from F) = 6 lines.

Result: The total number of lines expected in the 1H NMR spectrum is 6.

Verification: The computed value of 6 is within the given range (5.99, 6.01).
