What is accomplished by following the disappearance of the sp2 hybridized peak of the alkene?

Expert Solution

It is hard to get the context of the question. The question must be part of a subset of questions and you most likely have a reaction which you are studying. Since the question talks about sp² hybridized carbon, I will hazard a guess. You are most likely studying a reaction where a sp² carbon is reduced to sp³ carbon. The disappearance of the peak indicates the completion of the peak. As the reaction proceeds, the peak for the sp² carbon decreases in intensity while the signal intensity for the sp³ carbon increases. Thus, at any time in the reaction, it may be possible to find out the ratio of the alkene and the product by comparing the signal intensities of the sp² and sp³ carbon atoms in the starting material and the product.
