Unidentified
liquid A (C5H8O),
reacted slowly with hydrogen gas in the presence of finely divided platinum to
produce B (C5H10O). The infrared spectrum of A is shown
below. The strongest absorption is at
1745 cm–1. Compound
B possessed strong infrared absorption at 3475 cm–1 (2.88µ).
Identify A and B.
