Question

A chemist found a bottle in lab labeled "C4H8O2", but the structure of the unknown compound was missing. Luckily the chemist had access to an IR spectrometer and was able to acquire a spectrum for the unknown compound. Provide a reasonable structure for the unknown compound and label all of the major peaks on the spectrum. What sort of experiment could you do to confirm the identity of the product? Be specific.
