Chapter 12: Q35e E (page 385)

Question: At what approximate positions might the following compounds showIR absorptions?

(e)

Short Answer

Expert verified

(e) Absorption of ketone next to aromatic ring at 1690, and aromatic ring at 3030.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-step SolutionStep 1:IR absorption

In general, IR absorption iscaused by the interaction between the IR electric field vector and molecular dipole transition related to the molecular vibrations. Absorption is at maximum when the electric field vector and dipole transition moment are parallel to each other.

02

Identify the functional group

Functional groups are groups of one or more atoms with distinctive chemical properties regardless of what is attached to them.

The atoms of the functional group are bound by covalent bonds with one another and with rest of the molecule.

The functional group in compound (e) areketone (C=O) next to aromatic ring

03

Position at which compound show IR absorptions

Given compound

(e) Absorption of ester at 1735, ketone next to aromatic ring at 1690, and aromatic ring at 3030.
