Question
**Infrared Spectroscopy Analysis**

**Objective:** Identify which of the structures shown below the IR spectrum matches the IR spectrum provided.

**IR Spectrum Analysis:**
- **X-Axis (Wavenumber, cm⁻¹):** Ranges from 4000 cm⁻¹ to 500 cm⁻¹.
- **Y-Axis (Relative Transmittance):** Ranges from 0 to 1 (100% transmittance).

**Key Absorption Bands:**
- **Around 3400 cm⁻¹:** Indicates O-H stretch, typically associated with alcohols or phenols.
- **Around 3000 cm⁻¹:** Indicates C-H stretch, common in many organic compounds.
- **Around 1700 cm⁻¹:** Indicates C=O stretch, typical for ketones, aldehydes, and carboxylic acids.
- **Fingerprints region (1500-500 cm⁻¹):** Unique to each molecule, useful for identification.

**Structures Provided:**
Below the IR spectrum, five different chemical structures (A, B, C, D, and E) are illustrated:

- **Structure A:** An aromatic compound with a double bond.
- **Structure B:** An alcohol with a benzene ring.
- **Structure C:** A long-chain alkane.
- **Structure D:** A compound with a carbonyl group.
- **Structure E:** An amide with a benzene ring and an OH group.

**Match Analysis:**
To determine which structure corresponds to the provided IR spectrum, compare the key absorption bands of each structure with those observed in the spectrum. 

- **Structure A:** Contains an aromatic ring and a double bond, expected to show peaks around 1600 cm⁻¹ and 1500 cm⁻¹ but no broad O-H stretch around 3400 cm⁻¹.
- **Structure B:** Contains an OH group (alcohol) and a benzene ring. The broad O-H stretch around 3400 cm⁻¹ and C-H stretches around 3000 cm⁻¹ would fit.
- **Structure C:** A long chain alkane usually does not have a broad O-H stretch.
- **Structure D:** Features a carbonyl group with no O-H stretch.
- **Structure E:** Contains both an amide group and an OH group, which would match the broad O-H stretch, amide I band around 1650 cm
