The FT-IR spectra of benzopinacol and the starting reagent, benzophenone, was taken for comparison, Figure 1. The FT-IR spectrum of benzophenone exhibited absorbancies at 3050 and 1680 cm-1 for sp3 C-H and carbonyl stretches, respectively. The benzopinacol FT-IR spectra showed the appearance of a vibrational stretch at 3500 cm-1 associated with an O-H group, as well as, the presence of stretches at 3030 and 2950 cm-1 typical of sp2 and sp3 C-H groups, respectively. At 1600 cm-1, a stretch for an aromatic sp2 C=C group was also observed, Figure 2. The observed sp3 C-H and O-H stretches, in addition to, the absence of a carbonyl stretch was consistent with the desired product and was also consistent with the benzopinacol spectra reported in literature, Figure 4[2].
