IR spectrum help
« on: April 20, 2006, 08:32:39 PM »
I need help identifying this compound. I already know at 3000cm-1 and less than 3500cm-1 its a C -H. Less then 3000cm-1 must be of C-H alkane. Thats pretty much all I have identify. What I really need help is identifying the rest andnaming the compound. Any help would be appericated

Only one problem...IR spectra can't give you full compound identification.  It is only really useful for identifying the function groups that are present on the molecule.  You have identified the C-H region of the spectrum (a little less than 3000 cm-1) correctly.  There are a few other unique bands here as well...

Are you given the molecular formula?

Looks like there is a carbonyl C=O around 1700

I think you might have a primary amine.  The sharp absorption band at about 3300 cm-1 suggests a N-H stretch while the one around 1600 cm-1 suggests a NH2 bending.

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure  :-\. Do you guys think there is a c=c or a c=o at 1800cm-1 ?

Maybe C=C at around 1600

It looks like there is an aromatic ring also.  I agree that there is a primary amine because no asymmetric stretch present.

Check your assignment with
http://www.aist.go.jp/RIODB/SDBS/cgi-bin/cre_index.cgi

yes I have tried that website but unfortually since I don't know the name of the compound I can't use it.

at what range do you see a aromatic ring?

I meant you tentatively assign compound, eg aspirin, and check it in this database

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't sure  :-\.

I might disagree...I was always taught that a single band in this region implied a secondary amine, because there's a single N-H stretch...
