Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.29SP
The ultimate test of fluency in MS and IR is whether you can determine a moderately complex structure from just the MS and the IR, with no additional information. The IR and MS of a compound are shown below. Use everything you know about IR and MS, plus reasoning and intuition, to determine a likely structure. Then show how your proposed structure is consistent with these spectra.

Counterfeit drugs are a common problem in developing regions of the world. Oftentimes, counterfeit pills are made with compounds such as lactose. A lab technician has obtained the IR spectrum shown above for a sample reported to be citalopram, an antidepressant drug. Does the IR spectrum belong to citalopram or lactose? Explain your answer by describing what feature of the IR spectrum confirms your choice and describe what feature is missing from the IR spectrum for the other compound.
A. citalopram
B. lactose
