Discuss the differences observed in the IR and NMR spectra of (E)-cinnamic acid and 2,3-dibromo-3-phenylpropanoic acid that are consistent with addition of bromine to the double bond.

Solutions

Expert Solution

You can see the differences in the NMR peaks in the structures drawn above. The vinylc H atoms become shielded in the dibromo product. Hence the chemical shift decreases. You can see the values . All other NMR peaks are almost in a similar positions. So they are not shown , only differentiating peaks are discussed.

In the IR spectrum you will observe that there will be no streching frequency for Csp3 - H bond for (E)- Cinnamic acid as all the carbon atoms are Sp2 . In the dibromo compound you will see a peak at ~ 2800-2950 cm-1 for that bond. All other peaks would appear in almost same position ,hence they are not worthy to do differentiation.
