We will nominally assign the peak at 2822 as the aldehydic C-H stretch (more on the peak at 2724 later). Figure 2: The IR spectrum and peak assignment table for isovaleraldehyde or 3-methylbutyraldehyde, C 5 H 10 O. Note the O= CH stretches in both aldehydes in the region 2830-2695 cm -1, especially the shoulder peak at 2725 cm -1 in butyraldehyde and 2745 cm -1 in benzaldehyde. The IR spectrum of a saturated aldehyde, isovaleraldehyde, is shown in Figure 2. Note that the O=C stretch of the alpha, beta-unsaturated compound - benzaldehyde - is at a lower wavenumber than that of the saturated butyraldehyde. The spectra of benzaldehyde and butyraldehyde are shown below. alpha, beta-unsaturated aldehydes 1710-1685 cm -1.If you suspect a compound to be an aldehyde, always look for a peak around 2720 cm -1 it often appears as a shoulder-type peak just to the right of the alkyl CH stretches. Since the band near 2830 cm -1 is usually indistinguishable from other CH stretching vibration bands (recall that the CH stretches of alkanes appear from 3000-2850 cm -1), the presence of a moderate band near 2720 cm -1 is more likely to be helpful in determining whether or not a compound is an aldehyde.
This band generally appears as one or two bands of moderate intensity in the region 2830-2695 cm -1. See also:Īnother useful diagnostic band for aldehydes is the O= CH stretch. As in ketones, if the carbons adjacent to the aldehyde group are unsaturated, this vibration is shifted to lower wavenumbers, 1710-1685 cm -1. If a compound is suspected to be an aldehyde, a peak always appears around. The carbonyl stretch C=O of saturated aliphatic aldehydes appears from 1740-1720 cm -1.
