Question

A molecule produces an IR spectrum with key peaks at approximately 3300 and 2100 cm⁻¹. The mass spectrum has a molecular ion with a m/z = 68, and major fragment with m/z of 39. Draw a structure that best fits this data.

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that, a molecule produces an IR spectrum with key peaks at approximately 3300 and 2100 cm⁻¹. 

Also, the mass spectrum has a molecular ion with a m/z = 68, and major fragment with m/z of 39.

We have to draw the structure of the molecule.
