3. In their IR spectra, the νC=C for pent-3-en-2-one is 1600 cm-1^ while νC=C for pent- 4-en-2-one is 1650 cm-1^. Use resonance structures to explain why the C=C bond in the conjugated compound produces a signal at lower frequency. (5 points) O O O

O

Due to resonance, this bond has less double-bond character and resonates at lower frequency.

Resonance not possible for pent-4-en-2-one; this is just a regular double bond.

pent-3-en-2-one

4. Describe how IR spectroscopy can be used to monitor the progress of the following reaction. (5 points):

O O

H 2

Ni

The starting material is a conjugated enone and the νC=O will be at lower frequency (around 1680 cm-1^ ) than the product (a simple ketone with νC=O around 1720 cm -1^ ). So, look for the disappearance of the lower frequency carbonyl stretch with appearance of the higher frequency signal.
