Question

Fill in the reaction table below. Make sure you correctly calculate the molar amounts of your reactive materials. Calculate the Theoretical Yield of your product, i.e. the mass you would expect to recover (assuming 100% conversion to product). Distinguishing between the products A, B and C is quite challenging by IR spectroscopy alone -explain the differences and similarities that you would expect to see in the corresponding IR spectra. Which functional groups are the same, and which are different?
