IR Spectra 1
Benzyl alcohol
Band at 3400 cm-1 is due to hydroxy group streaching
Band at 3050 -3075 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH stretching
Band at 2850 - 2050 cm-1 is due to aliphatic -CH streaching
Band at 1450 and 1500 cm-1 is due to aromatic C=C streaching
Band at 700 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH bending
IR Spectra 2
Benzyl chloride
Band at 3050 - 3075 cm-1 is due to aromatic CH stretching
Weak band at around 2950 cm-1 is due to aliphatic -CH streaching
Band at 1450 and 1500 cm-1 is due to C=C streaching
Band at 710 cm-1 is due to C-Cl streaching
