| I am examining the IR spectrum of the product from an aldol addition/ condensation reaction, trying to determine if it is 2-benzylidene cyclohexanone or trans-4-phenyl-3-butene-2-one. The only difference in the molecules is what is attached to the "styrene" group... in the first, it can be seen as a cyclohexanone attached to a styrene, and in the second, an acetone attached to a styrene. What would the differences be on the IR spec? I am examining the 2 spectra on SDBS, and it seems that many of the peaks in the 2-benzylidene cyclohexanone are broader. It also seems that the carbonyl is shifted slightly upfield. The intensity of the 3000 region is also much more on this molecule. Can anyone help me understand why? Thanks |
