C-H 3030 Weak O-H 2500-3100 Strong broad 1660-2000 1450-1600 Weak Medium C=C Carbonyl compound C=O 1670-1780 Nitrile Strong CN 2210-2260 Medium Nitro NO2 1540 Strong In the box provided, write the IR frequency or range of frequencies that would best distinguish between the two compounds shown. Specify which compound (A or B) displays a band at this frequency in its IR spectrum.

Based on the FT-IR spectrum (A), do you consider that the reaction produced the desired product? From the spectrum (A), list the bands that support the answer given in question (1). Only select diagnostic band(s) present in the product spectrum that you do not expect to find in the starting material IR spectrum. When comparing and choosing, consider also the intensity of the bands.
