Question
All ethyl esters of long-chain aliphatic acids (for example, ethyl tetradecanoate, C13H27COOCH2CH3) show significant fragment ions at m/z 88, 73, and 45.
Draw the structure of the ion that gives the m/z 73 peak.
• In cases where there is more than one answer, just draw one.
• You do not have to include lone pairs in your answer.
• Include all valence radical electrons in your answer.
• Do not use the square brackets tool in your answer.
