Question

Discuss interpretation of IR spectrum below.

Band position (cm1)
Bond type
О-Н
3358 cm
2974 cm' and 2887 cm
С-Н
С-Н
1455, 1381, 1330 cm'
С-О
1090 and 1050 cm-
881 and 669 cm1
С-Н
The strong and broad peak narrowing onto 3358 cm-1 indicates O-H stretching of
alcohol.
The strong and medium peaks at 2974 cm-1 and 2887 cm-1 indicates C-H stretching
of CH or CH2 or CH3
The medium and sharp peaks at 1455,1381,1330 cm-1 indicates C-H bending of CH
or CH2 or CH3
The strong and sharp peaks at 1090 and 1050 cm-1 indicates C-O stretching of
alcohol.
The strong and sharp peak at 881 and 669 cm-1 indicates C-H bending.
Based on the interpretation of IR spectrum, the unknown is an saturated alcohol .
