### Characterizing Reaction Products Using Infrared Spectroscopy

Infrared (IR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool in identifying the functional groups present in a reaction product.

**Question:**

**In characterizing the reaction product by infrared spectroscopy:**

Which functional group in the product is not present in the starting material?

**Answer:**

- **Functional Group:** [Placeholder for the specific functional group]
- **IR Stretch:** [Placeholder for the specific stretch value]

- **Wavenumber:** [Placeholder for the wavenumber, in cm⁻¹]

Note: The placeholders should be filled with the appropriate functional group, IR stretch value, and wavenumber based on the specific IR spectrum analysis being referenced.

**Oxidation of Fluorene**

### Objectives:
1. Gain an understanding of how to perform an oxidation reaction.
2. Understand the conditional change of an oxidation.
3. Isolate fluorenone from the reaction mixture.
4. Characterize fluorenone using IR analysis (KBr pellet).

### Characteristics of an Oxidation Reaction
1. A gain of oxygen, O.
2. A loss of hydrogen, H<sub>2</sub>.

---

### Typical Oxidation Reactions:

#### 1<sup>o</sup> Alcohol to Aldehyde to Carboxylic Acid
- **1<sup>o</sup> Alcohol**: R-CH<sub>2</sub>OH undergoes oxidation (denoted as [O] – H<sub>2</sub>) to form **Aldehyde**: R-CHO.
- **Aldehyde** undergoes further oxidation (denoted as [O] + O) to form **Carboxylic Acid**: R-COOH.

#### 2<sup>o</sup> Alcohol to Ketone
- **2<sup>o</sup> Alcohol**: R-CH(OH)-R' undergoes oxidation (denoted [O] – H<sub>2</sub>) to form **Ketone**: R-CO-R'.

- [O] is a generalized oxidizing agent.
