Question
Carvone (Problem 12-39) has an intense infrared absorption at . What kind of ketone does carvone contain?
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
Ketone is a cyclic conjugated ketone
1Definition of Infrared absorption
Infrared is the electromagnetic waves that are irradiated on the compound to identify the strength of the chemical bonds present within the compound.
The absorption of the infrared radiation termed infrared absorption
This method helps us to determine exchangeable atoms.
2Carvone
Carvone belongs to the family of terpenoids. These are the chemicals found naturally in essential oil but most abundantly in the oils from the seeds of dill and many others.
3Infrared absorption
The range would be of C=C and that of indicates that the ketone is cyclic conjugated ketone as from the formula, we calculated that O is present.
