The final question involves identifying an ester, there is a peak at 7.3ppm for an aromatic group and the relative area is 5, for C6H5 which is fine - this I get.
However, the peak at 7.3 is split into 5 - this makes no sense to me at all. There isn't 4 Hydrogen atoms on the adjacent Carbon atom, there are two, so surely it must be a triplet??
I know this will require a lot of inconvenient link clicking and general horsing about but I'd really appreciate it if someone could help because I'm really struggling with it.
Cheers

I personally choose to ignore the splitting pattern for a benzene ring. I write it down but it doesn't give you any helpful information. A benzene ring is a benzene ring so you know how many hydrogens will be on it, 6, unless there is a different group added to it, in which case it will have a different shift on the NMR spectrum (in this case a peak showing a CH2 group bonded to the benzene). Basically, don't worry about the splitting pattern for a benzene ring, it really doesn't add much information for an A level question.

Thanks, it really isn't clear which confused the hell out of me, but I probably looked into it a bit too deepy. Tah again

The spec. says (page 49):
Candidates will be expected to identify aromatic protons from chemical shift values but will not be expected toanalyse theirsplitting patterns.
