Identifying & Naming Compound: IR Spectrum Help

[samven582]

I need help identifying this compound. I already know at 3000cm-1 and less than 3500cm-1 its a C -H. Less then 3000cm-1 must be of C-H alkane. Thats pretty much all I have identify. What I really need help is identifying the rest andnaming the compound. Any help would be appericated.

Try having a look at a few of these websites:

Have look for some patterns that match some on yours

Hope they help

Thank you for reaching out for assistance with identifying and naming your compound based on its IR spectrum. From your description, it seems that the compound contains a C-H group, with absorption peaks at 3000cm-1 and below, indicating an alkane.

To further identify the compound, I would suggest looking at the other absorption bands in the spectrum. These peaks can provide information about other functional groups present in the compound, such as carbonyl groups, alcohols, or amines. You can use a reference table or software to match the absorption peaks to specific functional groups and narrow down the possible structures of your compound.

Once you have identified all the functional groups present, you can use the naming conventions for organic compounds to name your compound. This typically involves identifying the longest carbon chain, numbering the carbons, and adding prefixes or suffixes to indicate the functional groups present.

I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. If you need further assistance, please provide a copy of the IR spectrum or any other relevant information about the compound. Good luck!
