IR absorptions at 1630 cm−1 and 1685 cm−1 were observed for an unknown compound with molecular formula C4H5BrO. The proton NMR spectrum of the compound shows two doublets at 6.8 ppm and 7.5 ppm, respectively, with J = 15 Hz and one singlet at 2.3 ppm. Predict the structure consistent with the above information.
