Transcribed Image Text:**Comparison of IR Spectra between Compound Pairs**
**Question:** How would each of the following pairs of compounds differ in their IR spectrum?
**Pair 1:**
- **Compound 1:** Cyclohexane (hexagonal ring structure)
- **Compound 2:** 1-Hexyne (linear structure with a triple bond between the first and second carbon atoms from the left)
**Expected IR Spectral Differences for Pair 1:**
Cyclohexane will show absorptions typical of alkanes:
- C-H stretch: Around 2850-2960 cm^-1
- No significant absorptions associated with triple bonds.
1-Hexyne, containing a triple bond (C≡C), will display:
- C≡C stretch: Around 2100-2260 cm^-1
- Terminal alkyne C-H stretch: Around 3300 cm^-1 (sharp peak)
- Aliphatic C-H stretch: Around 2850-2950 cm^-1
**Pair 2:**
- **Compound 1:** 2-Butanone (linear structure with a carbonyl group (C=O) on the second carbon from the left)
- **Compound 2:** 1-Butanol (linear structure with a hydroxyl group (OH) on the first carbon from the left)
**Expected IR Spectral Differences for Pair 2:**
2-Butanone will exhibit strong absorptions due to the carbonyl group:
- C=O stretch: Around 1650-1750 cm^-1 (strong)
- Aliphatic C-H stretch: Around 2850-2960 cm^-1
1-Butanol will show absorptions due to the hydroxyl group:
- O-H stretch: Around 3200-3550 cm^-1 (broad and strong)
- Aliphatic C-H stretch: Around 2850-2960 cm^-1
- C-O stretch: Around 1050-1300 cm^-1
**Summary of IR Spectral Differences:**
- **Cyclohexane vs. 1-Hexyne:** Presence of absorptions related to a triple bond in 1-Hexyne.
- **2-Butanone vs. 1-Butanol:** Presence of a strong carbonyl absorption in 2-Butanone and a broad O-H absorption in 1-Butanol.
