This is not surprising since the proton is not only vinylic but it is also alpha to a carbonyl group.
Vinylic protons nmr.
Proton nuclear magnetic resonance proton nmr hydrogen 1 nmr or 1 h nmr is the application of nuclear magnetic resonance in nmr spectroscopy with respect to hydrogen 1 nuclei within the molecules of a substance in order to determine the structure of its molecules.
As a result the vinylic protons are subjected to a greater local field.
Consequently their nmr absorptions occur at relatively high chemical shift.

0 at the vinylic protons.
The source of spin spin coupling.
In fact the 1 h nmr spectra of most organic molecules contain proton signals that are split into two or more sub peaks.
The induced field therefore augments the local field at the vinylic protons.
Chemical shift is associated with the larmor frequency of a nuclear spin to its chemical environment.
The 1 h nmr spectra that we have seen so far of methyl acetate and para xylene are somewhat unusual in the sense that in both of these molecules each set of protons generates a single nmr signal.
Notice that the proton closest to the carbonyl group is at a higher chemical shift than the proton in cyclohexene 6 05 ppm for cyclohexenone vs.
We know that a proton alpha to a carbonyl group is pulled downfield.
This means that a greater frequency is required to bring them into reso nance eq.
