Your mini report should be 3 paragraphs and no more than 2 pages using this file

Your mini report should be 3 paragraphs and no more than 2 pages using this file/template. You also need to fully annotate your NMR/IR spectra obtained from the instrument room and submit them as a pdf on LabFlow. Save a new copy of this template and delete this and the text in each paragraph below, replacing it with your analysis!
NMR Analysis
Did you successfully synthesize the target compound? Did you successfully purify the product via simple distillation? Discuss your NMR data to prove formation of the product and to indicate success of the purification via distillation. Be sure to include chemical shifts, integration values, and splitting patterns. Does the experimental data match the NMR predictions? If so, how do the chemical shifts, splitting patterns, etc. deviate from your predictions? How does the NMR prove conversion of the starting material to the product? Is there any evidence in the NMR of leftover starting material that proves distillation success/failure? Discuss the % purity via NMR if there is starting material present. Also discuss any other impurities present (reagents, solvents, etc). Why are they there? Make sure to use the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning format to answer these prompts!
Think/write in the style of claim, evidence, reasoning to help with you discussion! Use your feedback on previous mini report for guidance!
IR Analysis
Did you successfully synthesize the target compound? Did you successfully purify the product via simple distillation? Discuss your IR data to prove formation of the product and to indicate success of the purification via distillation. Be sure to include specific frequencies from your data and what functional group they belong to. How does the IR prove conversion of the starting material to the product? Is there any evidence in the IR of leftover starting material? Does your IR data match what you observed in your NMR spectrum? Any impurities you observed on your NMR should also be labelled and discussed in the IR data (except acetone – that came from cleaning your NMR tube). Noting impurities in an IR spectrum can be tricky and there needs to be a clear peak in order to claim the presence of an impurity. Think in the style of claim, evidence, reasoning to help with you discussion!

Conclusions
Start this paragraph with “In conclusion, the synthesis of isobutyl isobutyrate via Fischer Esterification and subsequent purification by simple distillation was successful/unsuccessful…..” Success can be evaluated as synthesis of product, purity, and/or yield. Use general trends seen in your NMR/IR data to support this statement. Tie all pieces of data together (simple distillation/boiling point observations, smell, NMR/IR data, yield, etc.) in a few sentences. What was the take-home message of this experiment? Were there any major sources of error? What are some thoughtful and scientific improvements for this experiment? Remember, human error should NOT be proposed as a major error or area of improvement. Think about the reaction itself (hint – equilibrium) and how the chemistry, monitoring by GC, work-up, and purification could be improved.
