NMR Problem: I for the life of me can't solve this problem.

My Thought Process:

  • 2 Triplets means 2 Signals (one signal that has 2 Neighboring H's & another Signal that has 2 Neighboring H's).
  • When I keep drawing the structure, I come up with this structure (shown in the pic) --> which has 2 Signals, but each Signal would have 4 Neighboring H's (so it would appear at 2 Quintets on NMR).
  • If I am wrong in my thought process, kindly let me know.

Thank you guys in advance.

Basically the title, this problem does not make sense to me.

  • I believe there's 4 signals in Answer choice "B" (because shouldn't there be a Hydrogen attached to that Carbonyl at the end?). So, how is it the answer?

Thanks in advance guys.
