Interpretation:
The structure of the product formed as a result of the given reaction is to be proposed based on the given IR spectrum.
Concept introduction:
Absorption of IR radiation causes excitations of vibrational motion of the atoms in a molecule. The vibrational motion can be of different types. In stretching vibrations, the bond length changes periodically. In bending vibrations, the bond angle or dihedral angle changes periodically. This may be an in-plane vibration or out of plane vibration.
The changes in the vibrational motion of the atoms in a molecule are quantized, i.e., the energy of vibrational motion can only have certain discrete values. In general, the frequency of the quantum of radiation absorbed and the frequency of vibration are the same.
The energy needed to excite molecular vibrations depends on the bond strength as a bond can be considered to behave like a spring. In turn, this also means it depends on the mass of the atoms that form the bond. In effect, this means the absorption peaks in the IR spectrum are characteristic of the bond between a particular pair of atoms. They are characteristic of the

Provide approximate wave numbers and the corresponding functional groups for the key absorption bands and/or peaks in IR. You might want to describe from two aspects: which peak(s) of what functional group(s) should appear in the IR of the product (that is different from the reactant); which peak(s) of what functional group(s) should disappear in the IR of the product (that is present in the reactant B. For the Clemensen reduction (same reaction), describe how the 1H NMR spectrum could be used to tell if the reactions had been successful.
