Which of the following compounds gives an infrared spectrum with a peak at strong 1730 cm−¹?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The peak at 1730 cm-1 is a characteristic absorption peak for carbonyl groups (C=O) in organic compounds. Compound B contains a carbonyl group in its structure, specifically a ketone group, which is responsible for this peak in its infrared spectrum. The other compounds do not contain any functional groups that would give rise to a peak at 1730 cm-1 in their infrared spectra.
