Question: A student had prepared two cyclo alkenes, a ) 1 - ethyl - 2 - methylorciohex - 1 - ene and b ) 1 ethylcyclohex

A student had prepared two cyclo alkenes, a)1-ethyl-2-methylorciohex-1-ene and b)1ethylcyclohex-1-ene. The student then further performed oxidative cleavage on the cyclohexenes. After the student ran their two reactions labelled Oxidative Cleavage 1 and Oxidative Cleavage 2, they realized they forgot to write down which cycloalkene they added to which flask and they are not sure which was which. They analyzed the Ric which toid them both reaction went to completion. They have to come you for your help to sort out the problem because they know you are awesome at Organic Chemistry
You tell them to use IR to sort out which reaction is which. They run the IR and they tell you that they had these peaks.
Flask labelled Oxidative Cleavage 1 : 1 peak at 1705cm-1(s) and 1 peak at 1725cm-1(s). Additionally they are seeing a peak at 2750cm-1(m). They are also seeing some strong peaks between 2800-3000cm-1.
Flask labelled Oxidative Cleavage 2 : 1 peak at 1710cm-1(s) and 1 peak at 1715cm-1(s). They are also seeing some strong peaks between 2800-3000cm-1.
Reactions: Indicate on the products which finctional groups produced which IR peals above.
1-ethy-2-rethyicyctohex-1ene
1-athylcyclchox-t-ene
dimethydsulide
03,(78C)
dimebrybaitde
manang-2,7-dione
E-excoctanai
ANSWER: Which alkene was added to which Oxidative Cleavage Flask?
Oxidative Cleavage I :
Oxidative Cleavage 2
