Question
Q4. The following is the 13C NMR spectrum of a highly concentrated solution of dicyclopentadiene
obtained in chloroform-d. Despite the high purity of the compound based on ¹H NMR, there is a massive
peak observed at 77.2 ppm in this 13C spectrum, which doesn't correspond to any resonances expected
for dicyclopentadiene. What is this peak, and why do you not see a corresponding peak for this compound
in your ¹H NMR spectrum?
