The high resolution proton NMR spectrum of Q is shown.

Deduce the structure of Q. Justify your answer by considering the relative peak areas, the chemical shifts and the splitting patterns.

You will find it helpful to refer to page 8 of the Data Booklet.

The peak at 3.6 ppm is due to a proton environment on a carbon bonded to the benzene ring. The peak is not where it might be expected from the general values in the Data Booklet.
