Chapter 14, Problem 71IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given compound in dilute conditions does not produce any characteristic IR signal of dilute alcohol instead produces a broad signal should be explained.

Concept Introduction:

IR spectral studies: It is a spectroscopic technique which is used to determine the functional groups present in the given compound sample by absorbing frequency in particular range with respect to the group present in the given sample.

Wavenumber: It is defined as the number of waves in one centimeter. The wavenumber indicates the location of each signal with respect to the functional group in the molecule and its unit is ${\text{cm}}^{\text{-1}}$.

Intramolecular Hydrogen Bonding: The formation of bond between hydrogen and highly electronegative atom present within the same molecule.

To explain: The characteristic signal value for the given compound.
