Question: How would each of the following pairs of compounds differ in their IR spectra?

Short Answer

Answer

Step by step solution

01

IR Spectra

In IR spectroscopy, each functional group has its wavelength. Each functional absorbs a different wavelength, and thus functional groups are characterized by IR spectroscopy.

02

Differentiation of functional group

The IR absorption frequencies of the bonds are: Csp2 -H at 3150–3000cm-1 and C sp-H at 3300 cm-1.

Question:Propose four possible structures for a hydrocarbon with a molecular ion at m/z= 112.

Question:Benzonitrile (C6H5CN) is reduced to two different products depending on the reducing agent used. Treatment with lithium aluminum hydride followed by water forms K, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 107 and the following IR absorptions: 3373, 3290, 3062, 2920, and 1600 cm-1. Treatment with a milder reducing agent forms L, which has a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at 106 and the following IR absorptions: 3086, 2820, 2736, 1703, and 1600 cm-1. L shows fragments in its mass spectrum at m/z= 105 and 77. Propose structures for K and L and explain how you arrived at your conclusions.

Question: The low-resolution mass spectrum of an unknown analgesic X had a molecular ion of 151. Possible molecular formulas include C7H5NO3, C8H9NO2, and C10H17N. High-resolution mass spectrometry gave an exact mass of 151.0640. What is the molecular formula of X?

Question:Propose a structure consistent with each set of data.

a. a compound that contains a benzene ring and has a molecular ion at m/z= 107

b. a hydrocarbon that contains only sp3 hybridized carbons and a molecular ion at m/z= 84

c. a compound that contains a carbonyl group and gives a molecular ion at m/z= 114

d. a compound that contains C, H, N, and O and has an exact mass for the molecular ion at

Question:Suppose you have two bottles, labeled ketone A and ketone B. You know that one bottle contains CH3CO(CH2)5CH3and one contains CH3CH2CO(CH2)4CH3but you do not know which ketone is in which bottle. Ketone A gives a fragment at m/z= 99 and ketone B givesa fragment at m/z= 113. What are the likely structures of ketones A and B from these fragmentation data?
