Question

Among the compounds given in the options A-D, the one that exhibits a sharp band at around $3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}$ in the IR spectrum is

The correct answer is
1-butyne

To determine which compound exhibits a sharp band at around \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\) in the IR spectrum, we need to understand what specific functional groups give rise to absorption bands at this frequency.

The IR spectrum absorption around \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\) is typically associated with the stretching vibrations of the -C≡C-H bond, found in terminal alkynes.

1,2-butadiene:

This compound has a chemical structure of \(\text{CH}_2=\text{C}=\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\). The IR spectrum of 1,2-butadiene would exhibit absorption bands related to C=C stretching, but not near \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\) as it lacks an alkyne functional group.

1,3-butadiene:

This compound, with a structure of \(\text{CH}_2=\text{CH}-\text{CH}=\text{CH}_2\), features conjugated double bonds and would exhibit typical alkene stretching frequencies, not at \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\).

1-butyne:

1-butyne is \(\text{CH}_3-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{H}\), which contains a terminal alkyne group.

This compound is the correct answer as it contains the terminal alkyne (C≡C-H) that gives a characteristic sharp absorption band at approximately \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\).

2-butyne:

2-butyne, \(\text{CH}_3-\text{C}\equiv\text{C}-\text{CH}_3\), has an internal alkyne and does not show the absorption at \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\), as it lacks the terminal C-H bond needed to engage in this type of bonding interaction.

Conclusion: Given the IR spectral characteristics and the structures of the compounds, 1-butyne is the correct answer as it exhibits a sharp band at around \(3300 \text{ cm}^{-1}\) due to the presence of a terminal alkyne group.
