Chapter 13: Q 44. (page 523)

Question: Morphine, heroin, and oxycodone are three addicting analgesic narcotics. How could IR spectroscopy be used to distinguish these three compounds from each other?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

The structures of morphine, heroin, and oxycodone are distinguished via infrared spectroscopic techniques based on the particular compound's frequency and wavelength.

Step by step solution

01

IR spectroscopy

The IR spectroscopy gives information about the structure elucidation and functional group.IR spectroscopies differentiate functional groups in a given structure.

02

Structure determination
