We performed an aldol condensation reaction using 4-bromoacetophenone and benzaldehyde. How can I prove this with the IR spectra we obtained? What are the stretches I should note to prove that we obtained (E)-1-(4-bromophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-en-1-one as our product and benzaldehyde as our aldehyde?
Please understand that IR is a very crude way to characterize the product, however, it gives essential preliminary information that product may have been formed. It is always good to go for NMR characterization as well!

We preformed an Grignard Reaction in Organic Chemistry lab. Benzophenone + Phenylmagnesium Chloride (2M in THF) + Diethyl Ether -> triphenylmethanol This may help: Below are IRs of Benzophenone and Trimethylmethanol. We performed a Grignard reaction to get an alcohol product from a ketone. I am having trouble with the peaks. They do not look great and the sample IR on the Benzophenone's Ketone peak is not where I would expect. Please help me characterize this. Note: We were unable...
