Step 1

In the IR spectrum of 3-methylbutanol, we can see absorbances at around 818.26 cm-1, 961.55 cm-1, 1170.72 cm-1, 1464.96 cm-1, and 2959.12 cm-1. These peaks correspond to the functional groups present in 3-methylbutanol, such as C-H stretching, O-H stretching, Show more…

Thanks for your feedback!

a) Consider the IR spectrum of the product, isopentyl ethanoate. Please comment on the product absorbances and the differences from the starting material, 3-methylbutanol.b) What new functional groups have been created in the reaction product and where may they apparent in the IR spectrum of isopentyl ethanoate? Please identify these absorbances directly in the IR spectrum. 100 95 90 818.26 961.55 1170.72 85 2873.41 08 1464.96 75 2959.12 70 65 1366.55 1054.19 60 55 50 1387.43 45 40 1739.17 35 1228.58 0 3500 3000 2500 2000 Wavenumbers (cm-1) 1500 1000
