Could someone direct me to a website with the IR signature of Isopentyl Acetate.  I conducted an experiment used IR for Identification and would like to have something to compare to.

Thanks.

http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/ has some good reference spectra, though I prefer looking in resources like the Aldritch Library of FTIR Spectra (which should be available at a university chemistry library).

Thanks.  Here is another question for you.  I am to report my findings in "journal style format", i.e short and concise.  When reporting data from the IR spectra, do you report the freq. of each peak or just the ones inidicative of the structure you are testing?

Thanks.

You should probably report all significant peaks, even if they don't correspond correctly to your molecule.  This will help you and others reading you paper an idea of what kind of contaminants are present in your sample.

Okay, thanks.
