Interpretation of IR (Infrared Spectrometry)

By running an infrared spectrometry (IR) important information about the particular functional groups of a compound is obtained. This allows for the naming of an unknown compound by analyzing the different functional groups that makes up the specific compound. The regions in which the functional groups appear fall between 4000-1300 cm-1 on the spectra. Since the compound I attempted to synthesize was an ester, the first thing I looked for on my spectra was a strong peak between 1800-1700 cm-1. My spectra did indeed have a strong peak at 1718.6 cm-1 so I concluded that the functional group ester was present in my compound. The, part of the compou
