Answer the following questions.

1) Answer the following questions based on the given Spectrum 1, 2 and 3.


CHM260 (TUTORIAL FTIR)

a) Predict the bonds associated with the two (2) labeled absorption peaks shown in Spectrum 1 and
2, respectively.
Spectrum 1
2998: C-H
1712: C=O
Spectrum 2
3345: O-H
1162: C-O

b) Decide which compound (X or Y) corresponds to each Spectrum 1 and 2, respectively.


OH O

H3CCH3 H3COH
Compound X Compound Y

Compound X: spectrum 2
Compound Y: spectrum 1

c) Spectrum 3 belongs to propanal (C3H6O). Justify this statement based on the labeled absorption
bands on Spectrum 3 and give the corresponding functional groups.
1703: Carboxylic acid
2820: Aldehydes
2738: Aldehydes
2) The following diagram is the IR spectrum of heptanoic acid, CH 3(CH2)5COOH. Identify three (3)
important peaks and their corresponding bonds associated with each peak.

2971: C-H
1721: C=O
1296: C-O

3) Compare butanol and butanone based on the characteristic wavenumbers of their IR spectra.
Butanol is in an alcohol group with wavenumbers (3400-3300)
Butanone is in ketone group with wavenumbers (1720-1708)

4) Justify the strong absorption at 1450-1600 cm-1 in the IR spectrum of methylbenzene.


Aromatic ring and alkane
5) Estimate the C=O stretching of the following compounds in the order of increasing wavenumber.
O O

CH3 H H3C C H3
H3C OH

H3C
CH3 CH3 O
2-methylbutanal 2-methylbutanoic acid 3-pentanone

2-methylbutanal, 3-pentanone, 2-methylbutanoic

6) Given below is the FTIR spectrum of 3-hydroxy benzaldehyde. Select three (3) important peaks and
determine the functional groups and wavenumbers associated with the peaks.

Phenol: O-H (3600-3200)


Aromatic rings: C-H (3100-3000)
Aldehyde: C-H (2760-2700, 2860-2800)
