Chapter 15.7, Problem 16ATS

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The signal values in IR spectrum for the given substrate and the product formed from the given reaction should be explained under given conditions.

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.

To explain: The IR signal values for the carbon-carbon triple bond in the substrate and the product.
