Question

In an experiment, an ester was prepared from acetic acid and a C-4 or C-5 alcohol The possible C-4 or C-5 alcohol, are: 1-butanol (n-butyl alcohol) 2-butanol (sec-butyl alcohol) 2-methyl-1-propanol (isobutyl alcohol) 3-methyl-1-butanol (isopentyl alcohol) 1-pentanol (n-pentyl alcohol) 2-pentanol 3-pentanol cyclopentanol IDENTIFY the identity of the alcohol from the list above using the given 13C NMR spectra and IR spectra of the ester. IN ADDITION, EXPLAIN HOW YOU USED the 13 C NMR and IR spectra to identify its identity (USE and explain the different peaks in both of the spectra) Created by Paint X

Explanation / Answer

2-Pentanol is the alcoholic compound. This alcohol clearly shows C-H streaching at 2961.33 cm-1. Also, C13 spectrum of the compound shows that it possess three secondary carbon (methylene group) and two primary carbon (Methyl group).
