Position of functional groups on ir spectrum of hydrobenzoin
Accepted Answer
The IR spectrum of hydrobenzoin will show characteristic peaks for the hydroxyl (OH) group, aromatic ring, and C-H bonds. The exact position of the OH peak will depend on the specific isomer of hydrobenzoin. For example, in meso-hydrobenzoin, the OH groups are on the same side of the molecule and will be hydrogen-bonded, leading to a broader and lower-frequency peak compared to the enantiomeric form.
