Ethyl bromoacetate splitting

 

ethyl bromoacetate Resonance A will appear as a singlet (no neighbors).  Resonance B will be a quartet due to the neighboring methyl protons.  Finally, the peak corresponding to methyl group C will appear as a triplet due to coupling with methylene group B.
Answer key 1  Your sketch should appear similar to the actual spectrum of ethyl bromoacetate to the left.  Resonance A will be a singlet integrating to 2 and will appear downfield relative to most methylene protons due to the electron withdrawing effect of bromine.  Resonance B is adjacent to an oxygen atom and is therefore expected to appear around 4ppm, the ester functionality is expected to deshield the protons slightly more than an ether group.  Resonance B appears as a quartet due to coupling with methyl group C and will integrate to 2 protons.  Lastly, resonance C will be upfield of all the other peaks due to its proximity from any electronegative functionalities.  It will integrate to 3 protons and appear as a triplet due to spin-spin splitting with methylene B.
