CARBON-CARBON BOND
STRETCHING
• Stronger bonds absorb at higher frequencies:
C-C 1200 cm-1
C=C 1660 cm-1
CC 2200 cm-1 (weak or absent if internal)
=>
O-H AND N-H
STRETCHING
Both of these occur around 3300 cm-1, but
they look different.
Alcohol O-H, broad with rounded tip.
Secondary amine (R2NH), broad with one
sharp spike.
Primary amine (RNH2), broad with two
sharp spikes.
No signal for a tertiary amine (R3N)

O-H STRETCH OF A
CARBOXYLIC ACID
This O-H absorbs broadly, 2500-3500 cm-1, due to strong hydrogen bonding.
VARIATIONS IN
C=O ABSORPTION
• Conjugation of C=O with C=C lowers the stretching
frequency to ~1680 cm-1.
=>
CARBON - NITROGEN
STRETCHING
• C - N absorbs around 1200 cm-1.
• C = N absorbs around 1660 cm-1 and is much
stronger than the C = C absorption in the
same region.
• C N absorbs strongly just above 2200 cm-1.
The alkyne C C signal is much weaker and
is just below 2200 cm-1 .

Aldehydes and Ketones
• IR spectrum of menthone (Fig 12.12)
Carbonyl groups
• The position of C=O stretching vibration is sensitive to
its molecular environment
as ring size decreases and angle strain increases,
absorption shifts to a higher frequency
conjugation shifts the C=O absorption to lower frequency
