I'm pretty sure that I synthesized butyl acetate (butyl ester)from 1-butanol, but I need to explain how spectroscopy data couldtell you that. I'll award points to the person who can best answerthe following questions:
"Analyze the H-NMR based on chemical shift, splitting, andintegration to support your conclusion (that it's butyl ester)." Ithink the peaks go O-CH2, H3C-C=O, CH2, CH2, and CH3, but I couldbe wrong. It would help me if you can explain this in a bit ofdetail so I can understand it, since I'm bad with readingspectroscopy data.
Assign the three major absorptions in an IR to correspondingfunctional groups. My best guess is written on the IR, am Icorrect, and why or why not?
