Three alkenes have the general molecular formula C4H8 and exhibit the following IR absorptions: alkene A = 964cm-1 alkene B = 908 and 986cm-1 alkene C = 890cm-1 Assign a structure to each of these isomers and explain your answers
Added by George A.
Step 1
The difference in their IR absorptions indicates that they have different structures. The IR absorption values are associated with the stretching vibrations of different types of bonds. In this case, the values are in the range of C=C double bond stretching Show more…

$\textbf{A}$ and $\textbf{B}$, isomers of molecular formula $C_3H_5Cl_3$, are formed by the radical chlorination of a dihalide $\textbf{C}$ of molecular formula $C_3H_6Cl_2$. a. Identify the structures of $\textbf{A}$ and $\textbf{B}$ from the following $^1H$ NMR data: Compound $\textbf{A}$: singlet at 2.23 and singlet at 4.04 ppm Compound $\textbf{B}$: doublet at 1.69, multiplet at 4.34, and doublet at 5.85 ppm b. What is the structure of $\textbf{C}$?
