Organic Chemistry: There are only FOUR important IR peaks….that’s IT

Amazingly enough, IR is not used much by professional organic chemists.  This is because all IR can show is different functional groups.  Thus, IR cannot tell the difference between any of the molecules shown below: All of the molecules above will show an OH peak and various C-H stretches, but each spectra will look striking similar.  […]
