Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The principal absorption bands in the infrared spectrum of isopentyl acetate needs to be interpreted.

Concept Introduction:

Ester is an organic compound with the general formula RCOOR. It can be formed by the reaction of carboxylic acid with alcohol in the presence of acidic medium. This reaction is called as esterification reaction. The esterification reaction of acetic acid with isopentyl alcohol forms isopentyl acetate. The chemical equation can be written as:

  CH3COOH +  (CH3)2-CH2-CH2-OHCH3COOCH2CH2CH(CH3)2+H2O
