The structure of butamben is shown. butamben H₂N

1. (a)(i)Complete the equation for a reaction in which butamben acts as a base. [1][1]
2. (a)(ii)Predict whether butamben is a stronger or weaker base than ammonia. Give a reason for your answer. [1][1]
3. (b)Complete the reaction scheme below to show the structural formulae of the products formed when butamben is treated separately with the stated reagent. [3][3]
4. (c)(i)State the number of peaks in the spectrum that show a triplet splitting pattern. [1][1]
5. (c)(ii)On the diagram of butamben below, circle the protons responsible for the peak or peaks you identified in (c)(i). [1][1]
6. (c)(iii)Describe and explain how the proton NMR spectrum of butamben in D₂O would differ from the proton NMR spectrum of butamben in CDCl₃. [2][2]
7. (d)The mass spectrum of butamben includes peaks at m/e 92 and 57. Identify the fragments responsible for these peaks. m/e 92 = .......................................................................................................................................................... m/e 57 = ..........................................................................................................................................................
