SUMMARY
The discussion clarifies the confusion surrounding the splitting patterns and integrations of red and blue protons in a specific organic compound. The red protons exhibit a triplet splitting pattern with an integration of 6 H due to their chemical equivalence and the n + 1 rule, where n equals the 2 adjacent protons. Conversely, the blue protons show a quintet splitting pattern with an integration of 4 H, resulting from the contributions of adjacent carbons, where n equals 3 from one carbon and 1 from another, leading to a total of 5. This analysis is essential for understanding NMR spectroscopy in organic chemistry.
