Analyzing Infrared Spectra
The electromagnetic radiation or frequency is classified into radio-waves, micro-waves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. The infrared spectra emission refers to the portion between the visible and the microwave areas of electromagnetic spectrum. This spectral area is usually divided into three parts, near infrared (14,290 – 4000 cm-1), mid infrared (4000 – 400 cm-1), and far infrared (700 – 200 cm-1), respectively. The number set is the number of the wave (cm-1).
IR Spectrum Of Cyclohexanone
It is the analysis of the structure of cyclohexaone using IR data interpretation.
IR Spectrum Of Anisole
Interpretation of anisole using IR spectrum obtained from IR analysis.
IR Spectroscopy
Infrared (IR) or vibrational spectroscopy is a method used for analyzing the particle's vibratory transformations. This is one of the very popular spectroscopic approaches employed by inorganic as well as organic laboratories because it is helpful in evaluating and distinguishing the frameworks of the molecules. The infra-red spectroscopy process or procedure is carried out using a tool called an infrared spectrometer to obtain an infrared spectral (or spectrophotometer).
![**Title: Understanding the Reaction of a Compound with Benedict's Reagent**
*Topic: Organic Chemistry*
**Question:**
What product forms when the compound below is treated with Benedict’s reagent?
**Given Compound:**
```
CHO
|
H─C─OH
|
CH2OH
```
**Options:**
**A)**
```
CH2OH
|
H─C─OH
|
CH2OH
```
**B)**
```
CHO
|
C=O
|
CH2OH
```
**C)**
```
COOH
|
H─C─OH
|
CH2OH
```
**D)**
```
CH2OH
|
HO─C─OH
|
CH2OH
```
**Explanation:**
Benedict's reagent is a chemical reagent commonly used to detect the presence of reducing sugars. When treated with Benedict's reagent, aldehydes and certain alpha-hydroxy ketones undergo oxidation, producing a carboxylic acid and a color change due to the reduction of copper(II) ions to copper(I) oxide.
For the given compound:
- The aldehyde group (CHO) in the given compound will be oxidized to a carboxylic acid group (COOH) when treated with Benedict's reagent.
Therefore, the correct product is represented by **option C**:
```
COOH
|
H─C─OH
|
CH2OH
```
This selection follows the typical reaction pathway for an aldehyde when it interacts with Benedict's reagent.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F950ccb0b-88f0-424e-a789-46ed3bd2a086%2Fcb5f53e4-1272-4b51-8323-9fd48a4d7e6c%2Farn5br_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
