How to know the degree of brancing from IR data
« on: April 08, 2017, 06:25:14 AM »
From the IR data, I've attached here, it is clear that it is a monosubstituted benzene. Now in the side chain what may present? isopropyl or normal propyl? Can it be said from this Ir data?

You can tell if specifically isopropyl is there, but other chains are tough to ID. The isopropyl split 1370 + 1385 is pretty characteristic. Some easy googling can tell you other alkane peaks, but they are not easy to interpret in my experience
