Three IR spectra are shown, corresponding to three of the following compounds. For each spectrum, determine the structure and explain how the peaks in the spectrum correspond to the structure you have chosen.

Short Answer

Expert verified

An IR-spectrum peak at 3300 cm-1 indicates hydrogen attached to the terminal alkyne carbon. Terminal alkyne exhibits IR stretching frequency at 2100 cm-1. The methyl of the tertiary butyl group exhibits an IR stretching frequency of around 3000 cm-1. Thus, the structure below is evident from the given IR spectrum from the given list of structures.

Step by step solution

01

Explanation of spectrum (a)

An IR-spectrum peak at 3300 cm-1 indicates hydrogen attached to the terminal alkyne carbon. Terminal alkyne exhibits IR stretching frequency at 2100 cm-1. The methyl of the tertiary butyl group exhibits an IR stretching frequency of around 3000 cm-1. Thus, the structure below is evident from the given IR spectrum from the given list of structures.

02

Explanation of spectrum (b)

An IR spectrum peak at 1720 cm-1 indicates the presence of a carbonyl group, and a stretching frequency around 2820 cm-1 indicates that the carbonyl group must be of aldehyde as hydrogen attached to carbonyl carbon has IR stretching frequency around 2820 cm-1. There is the presence of overtone also at 3440 cm-1, which occurs in the case of the carbonyl group. IR stretching frequency at 1600 cm-1 indicates the presence of a benzene ring. Thus, from the given list of structures, the structure which is evident from the given IR spectrum is as follows.

03

Explanation of spectrum (c) 

An IR stretching frequency at 1760 cm-1 indicates the presence of an ester functional group. IR stretching frequency around 1600 cm-1 is indicative of a benzene ring. Ester鈥檚 oxygen must be attached to the benzene ring, as evident from the IR stretching frequency of 1200 cm-1. Thus, from the given list of structures, the evident structure is as follows.

Most popular questions from this chapter

The mass spectrum of n-octane shows a prominent molecular ion peak (m/z 114). There is also a large peak at m/z 57, but it is not the base peak. The mass spectrum of 3,4-dimethylhexane shows a smaller molecular ion, and the peak at mass 57 is the base peak. Explain these trends in abundance of the molecular ions and the ions at mass 57 and predict the intensities of the peaks at masses 57 and 114 in the spectrum of 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.

For each spectrum, interpret all the significant streching frequencies above 1580 cm-10

Question: (Another true story.) A student who was checking into her lab desk found an unlabeled sample from a previous student. She was asked to identify the sample. She did an IR spectrum and declared, 鈥淚t looks like an alkane.鈥 But it seemed too reactive to be an alkane, so she did a GC鈥揗S. The mass spectrum is shown next. Identify the compound as far as you can, and state what part of your identification is uncertain. Propose fragments corresponding to the numbered peaks.

For each hydrocarbon spectrum, determine whether the compound is an alkane, an alkene, an alkyne, or an aromatic hydrocarbon, and assign the major peaks above (to the left of) 1600 cm-1 . More than one unsaturated group may be present.

Chapter-9 covered a synthesis of alkynes by a double dehydrohalogenation of dihalides. A student tried to convert trans-2,5-dimethylhex-3-yne by adding bromine across the double bond and then doing a double elimination. The infrared and mass spectra of the major product are shown here.

  1. Do the spectra confirm the right product? If not, what is it?
  2. Explain the important peaks in the IR spectrum.
