Infrared-Spectrum .
Locate infrared spectra for each name you found in paragraph
1. Look at the structural formulas that are given with the names. You may either (1) match each peak from your unknown with peaks on each literature IR or you can (2) talk about the structure implied by your IR, which peaks support that structure, and whether there are matching structural peaks on the literature IRs.
When you analyze an IR, which peaks from your unknown are different from your choices and which are the same? A couple of questions that might help you with a structural discussion: what is an isomer?
Are the numbers in the name important, and if they are, what do they tell us about compounds? What is a functional group in organic chemistry? What functional group does your unknown have? If an identity does not have a reported IR, state that in the paragraph discussion. You must include a citation for each literature IR spectrum.
