IR Analysis

1. Take an IR of the unknown you have been assigned. Be sure to pick peaks.

2. Print a copy of the spectrum. You will staple this page and your IR spectrum to the Spectroscopy
worksheet.

3. Label the BOND and FUNCTIONAL GROUP responsible for each of the interesting peaks directly on
the spectrum. For example, if you find a peak at ~2900 you would label it as:

C H

sp3 hybridized C
or alkyl group


Based on your analysis which of the following structures is consistent with your unknown?

1-hexene O OH
1-hexyne ibuprofen

O O O
OH H

benzoic acid benzaldehyde benzophenone 2-hexyne

O O O
OH H3CO
R O O R O
O
isobutanol O HO
ethyl butyrate
R

vegetable oil


=approximate structure of predominant triglyceride (unsaturated)
in vegetable oil (sunflower oil
specifically)


4. Write a short paragraph convincing your TA which unknown you have based on your IR spectrum.
It is important to refer to specific peaks (using the cm-1) in your spectrum to create an argument.
