Chapter 12, Problem 12.22P

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The elimination reaction for $m/z=101$ in the $\text{CI}$ mass spectrum of di-sec-butyl ether is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the substance. The mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass. In the mass spectrum, the molecular ion is the most important peak. The $m/z$ of the molecular ion occurs at the molecular mass.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The elimination reaction for $m/z=115$ in the $\text{CI}$ mass spectrum of di-sec-butyl ether is to be predicted.

Concept introduction:

Spectroscopy method is used to identify the structure of the substance. The mass spectroscopy is used to determine the molecular mass. In the mass spectrum, the molecular ion is the most important peak. The $m/z$ of the molecular ion occurs at the molecular mass.
