The following problem set presents data for the infrared spectrum for an unknown compound. Using the spectroscopic and analytical data, you should attempt to identify the functional groups which are present in the molecule, and suggest a structure which is consistent with the data; it will often be impossible to generate a unique structure based on the IR alone. Review materials are available through the MENU above and "hints" and interpretations are provided for each spectrum. You should attempt to work the spectra in order; you may, however, jump to any problem in the set by clicking on the problem number below. Clicking on the "Begin" button will take you to Problem #1.  Problem #2 *** Problem #3 *** Problem #4 *** Problem #5 *** Problem #6 *** Problem #7 *** Problem #8 *** Problem #9 *** Problem #10 |
