16.26. The first compound lacks a chirality center. The two methyl groups are
enantiotopic and are therefore chemically equivalent. The second compound has a
chirality center (the position bearing the OH group). As such, the two methyl groups are
13
diastereotopic and are therefore not chemically equivalent. For this reason, the
C NMR
spectrum of the second compound exhibits six signals, rather than five.
