NAME ORGANICCHEM 2425 FNAL EXAM 1l 2018 DIRECTIONS- A periodic table is attached at the end of this exam. Please answer all questions in the space provided as completely and clearly as possible. Please show all your work for the writing portions of the exam PART I-Multiple Choice (2 points.cash 1. Examining the Infra Red spectrum of a compound allows us to: A. Determine the types of functional groups present in the compound. B. Determine the C-H framework of the compound. C. Determine the molecular weight of the compound. D. Determine the nature of the conjugated pi clectrons system in the compound 2. Which structure (from the list below) fits the IR spectra shown below ?. HO 0 0 0 D. A. B. 3. The following reaction is called Solution 1) Infrared spectra gives information about the functional groups So it helps in determine the type of functional group present in the molecule. 2) The broad peak above 3000 cm-1 corresponds to : -OH (alcohol) functional group The strong peaks at 2900cm-1 : corresponds to sp3 C- H alkane Strong single peak at 1750 corresponds to : keto functional group (R-CO-R) So the molecule contains keto and alcohol functioal groups c) is the right answer ---------------- 3) Benzaldehyde doesnt have alpha hydrogen undergeos reaction with base to form a oxidation and reduction product. It is a Cannizaro reaction .
