Unveiling The Infrared Symphony Of Ethyl Acetate: A Comprehensive Analysis Of Functional Group Vibrations
The IR spectrum of ethyl acetate features strong absorption bands confirming the presence of the carbonyl group (C=O) and alkoxy group (C-O-C). The C=O stretching vibration appears at ~1750 cm-1, while the C-O stretching vibrations occur around 1250 cm-1. The fingerprint region provides additional evidence for these functional groups, with characteristic absorption patterns in the…
