Chapter 15, Problem 68IP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The structure for the product with given molecular formula ${\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{10}}\text{O}$ and its mechanism for the formation should be identified under given IR spectrum value.

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 ${\text{cm}}^{\text{-1}}$.

Structure: It is a unique arrangement of all atoms present in the molecule in an organized manner.

Oxonium ion: The oxygen atom with positive charge with it.

To determine: The structure and the mechanism for formation of the given product.
