Paracetamol Spectra ... !

The document describes the identification of an unknown compound through various spectroscopy techniques. UV spectroscopy showed primary and secondary absorption bands that matched a reference compound. IR spectroscopy revealed peaks indicating the presence of specific functional groups such as amide, phenolic, carbonyl, and aromatic groups. NMR spectroscopy showed peaks corresponding to protons on saturated carbons, aromatic protons, and N-H-C=O protons. Mass spectroscopy identified the molecular ion peak and fragmentation pattern. Based on the combined data, the compound was concluded to be paracetamol (acetaminophen).
