Hi. I got this unknown chemical (liquid) that I need to figure out. I need to figure out the exact name for this chemical.
I think I have figured out the functional group from its fruity smell (cherry-ish) and IR. It is "ester".
I got the rough estimate of my boiling point : 115~134 C (I'm very bad at measuring bp.. dont trust this number xP)
I got the IR spectroscopy too.

But.. out of so many esters, I cannot figure out which one is the right one.
I'm sort of guessing for "Isobutyl acetate" because of its cherry-like smell. But IR spectrum is slightly off from the japanese IR database.
Can someone figure out what it is based on these observations?
Thank you
