infrared spectrum of butan-1-ol wavenumbers cm-1 functional group detection fingerprint pattern identification of 1-butanol doc brown's advanced organic chemistry revision notes 

Spectra obtained from a liquid film of butan-1-ol. The right-hand part of the of the infrared spectrum of butan-1-ol, wavenumbers ~1500 to 400 cm-1 is considered the fingerprint region for the identification of butan-1-ol and most organic compounds. It is due to a unique set of complex overlapping vibrations of the atoms of the molecule of butan-1-ol.

Interpretation of the infrared spectrum of butan-1-ol (1-butanol, n-butyl alcohol)

The most prominent infrared absorption lines of butan-1-ol

The most characteristic absorption is the broad O-H stretching vibration band at wavenumbers ~3550 to 3230 cm-1, the breadth is caused by the interference of hydrogen bonding interactions, common to all hydrogen bonded molecules with a hydroxyl group.

C-H stretching vibration absorption occurs ~2900 cm-1, wavenumbers common to any molecule with alkyl groups.

There are C-O stretching vibration absorption bands at wavenumbers ~1350 to 1000 cm-1.

C-H stretching vibration absorptions appear at wavenumbers 1470 to 1370 cm-1.

The absence of other specific functional group bands will show that particular functional group is absent from the butan-1-ol molecular structure.
