The Correct Answer and Explanation is :<\/strong><\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IR spectrum of the adduct of Maleic Anhydride + \u03b1-Terpinene (a Diels-Alder reaction product) provides key insights into the functional groups present in the product. Below are the key peaks and their interpretations:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interpretation of the IR Spectrum<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The IR spectrum confirms the formation of the Diels-Alder adduct between \u03b1-terpinene (the diene) and maleic anhydride (the dienophile). The strong absorption bands at ~1780 cm\u207b\u00b9 and ~1850 cm\u207b\u00b9 confirm the presence of an anhydride functionality, which is expected since maleic anhydride remains intact in the product. The absence of a broad O-H stretch (~3200-3600 cm\u207b\u00b9) indicates no hydrolysis of the anhydride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The peaks around 2950 cm\u207b\u00b9 and 1450 cm\u207b\u00b9 confirm the presence of aliphatic CH3 and CH2 groups, indicating that the terpenoid structure remains largely unchanged. The peak around ~900 cm\u207b\u00b9 suggests the presence of an isolated alkene, likely from part of the terpenoid framework that was not involved in the reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The successful appearance of the anhydride peaks and absence of maleic anhydride\u2019s characteristic C=C stretch (~1600 cm\u207b\u00b9) confirms the reaction has proceeded as expected, leading to the formation of a bicyclic adduct without significant side reactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
