Explain how IR spectroscopy could be used to confirm product formation. Refer to specific functional groups, provide characteristic IR band frequencies and indicate the type of vibration (i.e.. stretching vs. bending). In this experiment, NaOH is used as a base, to convert 5-nitrobenzisoxazole to 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzonitrile.

Answer #1

OH OT NaOH 0

The starting material 5-nitrobenzisoxazole will not have band between 1500 - 3000 cm-1 and beyond 3100 cm-1

but product 2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzonitrile will have broad band around 3300 cm-1 for hydroxy group, and sharp band at 2100 cm-1 for nitrile group (CN), therefore formation of band at around 3300 cm-1 and 2100 cm-1 can be used to confirm the product formation
