Concept introduction:
IR spectroscopy enables to identify different functional groups in the molecule.
One of the greatest advantages of IR spectroscopy is that the frequency of a particular type of vibration is typically found within a characteristic range of frequencies, regardless of the functional group with which the vibration is associated. The fact that absorptions by certain vibrations appear with characteristic frequency ranges enables us to use IR spectroscopy to obtain structural information about a molecule. The

- Camphor, a saturated monoketone from the Asian camphor tree, is used among other things as a moth repellent and as a constituent of embalming fluid. If camphor has M+=152.1201 by high-resolution mass spectrometry, what is its molecular formula? How many rings does camphor have?arrow_forwardWould you expect two enantiomers such as (R)-2-bromobutane and (S)-2-bromobutane to have identical or different IR spectra? Explain.arrow_forwardThese are the 1H RMN and IR spectrums of an A compound with formula C10H13NO2. When A reacts with NaOH in water and heat, B compound is formed, with formula C10H11NO. What are the structures of A and B?arrow_forward
- How can the two isomers having molecular formula C2H6O be distinguishedby IR spectroscopy?arrow_forwardy-Butyrolactone (C4H6O2, GBL) is a biologically inactive compound that is converted to the biologically active recreational drug GHB (Section 19.5) by a lactonase enzyme in the body. Since y-butyrolactone is more fat soluble than GHB, it is more readily absorbed by tissues and thus produces a faster onset of physiological symptoms. y-Butyrolactone shows an absorption in its IR spectrum at 1770 cm-1 and the following 1H NMR spectral data: 2.28 (multiplet, 2 H), 2.48 (triplet, 2 H), and 4.35 (triplet, 2 H) ppm. What is the structure of y-butyrolactone?arrow_forwardThe IR spectrum of a compound with molecular formula C5H8O is shown below. Identify the compound.arrow_forward
- How do the three isomers of molecular formula C3H6O (A, B, and C) differ in their IR spectra?arrow_forwardHow do you determine the stereochemistry of a compound using HNMR?arrow_forwardCyclohexene has the formula C6H1o and the structure shown in Figure 4-4. When cyclohexene is treated with acid and water it forms Compound A with the formula C6H12O. When Compound A is treated with an oxidizing agent, it forms Compound B with the formula C6H100. IR spectra for Compounds A and B are shown in Figure 4-3. The best structure for A is The best for B isarrow_forward
- As the ring size increases from cyclopropanone to cyclohexanone, the carbonyl stretching frequency decreases.Explain this observation?arrow_forwardHow many stereoisomers are possible for 2-dimethylamino- 3-phenylbutane?arrow_forwardA) compound X has the formula C8H15OCl. Calculate the double bond equivalents in this molecule B) the proton decoupled 13C NMR Spectrum for compound X has 6 signals, with one signal above 100 ppm. What does this indicate about the symmetry in compound Xarrow_forward
