1-hexan-3-ol is the
correct answer choice in which its IR matches the given spectrum due to several
components of the compound. Looking at the structure of the compound to the
right, there are several structurally unique aspects that can be identified.
Such structures unique to the compound include an O-H bond, a C=C bond and a –CH=CH2
group. The spectrum correctly shows both O-H stretching (3200cm-1 - 3600cm-1)
and C=C (1700cm-1) stretching absorptions. Furthermore the peaks at
910cm–1 and 990 cm–1 confirm the presence of a –CH=CH2
group. Therefore, with these aspects of the compound accurately identified in
the given spectrum, it can be assumed that 1-hexan-3-ol is the correct answer.
Your post was very clear and easy to understand. I like that each spectrum was explained well.
