The NMR spectrum of bromocyclohexane indicates a low field signal (1H) at δ 4.16. To room temperature, this signal is a singlet, but at -75 ° C it separates into two peaks of unequal area (but totaling one proton): δ 3.97 and δ 4.64, in ratio 4.6: 1.0. How do you explain the doubling in two peaks? According to the generalization of the previous problem, what conformation of the molecule predominates (at -75 ° C)? What percentage of the molecules does it correspond to?
