please calculate the theoretical yield and post a theoretical IR spectrum

Add 1.12g of potassium tert-butoxide (t-BuOK) in a 50 mL round bottom flask. Add 2.00 mL of diethyl adipate to the flask followed by 5-6 mL of DMSO. Reflux the mixture for 30 minutes. Once the reflux is complete, cool the flask to less than 50oC and add 10 mL of 10% HCl to the reaction mixture. Using a spatula, mix the solid stuff with the aqueous solution, scraping the sides to remove any adhered material. A light yellow solid soon begins to form over the aqueous solution, and at this time, transfer the contents of the flask into a separatory funnel with the aid of 15 mL of diethyl ether. Extract the aqueous layer three times with 15 mL of diethyl ether and wash the combined organic layers with 25 mL of saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution.
