Which compound matches the IR spectrum best?
Answer: The peaks in the IR Spectra are:
a) 3020cm-1: sp2 C-H stretching for benzene
b) 2950cm-1: sp3 C-H stretching for CH2 group (alkane)
c)1685cm-1: C=O stretching for carbonyl group
Among the given structures only B and F qualify. But for B aldehyde C-H stretching at around 2700 -2600 is absent.
So, structure F fits for the IR spectra.
