Question

2. The reaction of ethanoic acid and phosphorous gives a compound Q.compound Qreacts with ammonia to give compound R.when compound R is reacted with bromine in sodium hydroxide solution compound Sis produced.compound R reacts with thionyl chloride to give compound T. The infrared (IR) spectra of the compounds showed the following peaks among others
Q:one peak at 1785-1815 cm-1
R: two peaks at 3125-3500 cm-1 and at 1630-1700 cm-1
S: two peaks at 3250-3500 cm-1
T: one peak at 2250 cm-1

Using the above information, identify the compounds Q,R,S, and T and account for the observed IR peaks (8mks)
