Alkenes infrared absorption frequencies

The infrared absorption of 1-butene that occurs at 1830 cm 1 (Figure 10-1) falls in the region where stretching vibrations of alkene bonds usually are not observed. However, this band actually arises from an overtone (harmonic) of the =CH2 out-of-plane bending at 915 cm 1. Such overtone absorptions come at exactly twice the frequency of the fundamental frequency, and whenever an absorption like this is observed that does not seem to fit with the normal fundamental vibrations, the possibility of its being an overtone should be checked.
