How would we know?

Explanation:

And in general IR spectroscopy is a very limited means of analysis.

There will be strong carbonyl absorptions in the IR spectrum around #1700*cm^-1#.

But there is not a great deal we can draw from this spectrum.....

#""^1H# and #""^13C{""^1H}# #"NMR spectroscopies"# would give a much more definitive analysis, and we should see four absorptions in the #""^1H# #"NMR spectrum...."# with an integration ration of #3:3:3:1#...
