Problem

Deduce the number of structural isomers with the molecular formula C5H10O2\text{C}_5\text{H}_{10}\text{O}_2 that give infrared absorptions both at approximately 1300 cm−11300\text{ cm}^{-1} and at approximately 1740 cm−11740\text{ cm}^{-1}. Draw skeletal formulas for the molecules, knowing there are no absorptions in the region 30003000 to 3500 cm−13500\text{ cm}^{-1}.
