(a)

Interpretation Introduction

To draw: The reactions that took place and the product formed.

Interpretation: The reactions that took place are to be drawn and the product formed is to be shown.

Concept introduction: Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives information about the molecular formula.

Fragmentation gives the resonance stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak having an even mass number corresponding to loss of an even mass number.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

To determine: Whether the molecular ion is or is not visible in the mass spectrum and the ions which are likely to be responsible for the strong peaks at m/z 59 and 101.

Interpretation: Whether the molecular ion is or is not visible in the mass spectrum is to be explained and the ions which are likely to be responsible for the strong peaks at m/z 59 and 101 are to be shown.

Concept introduction: Mass spectroscopy provides a reliable molecular weight for an unknown compound and also gives us the information about the molecular formula as well.

Fragmentation gives the resonance stabilized cations whenever possible. Loss of a small molecule is usually indicated by a fragment peak with having an even mass number corresponding to the loss of an even mass number.

PREPARATION OF n-PROPYL PROPANOATE Q1) How can you tell, by looking at the refluxing set-up, that the reaction between n-propanol and propionic acid is over? Q2) When assembling the distillation set-up, why is it important to place the tip of the thermometer at the same height as the exit to the side arm of the round-bottom flask?
Each of the solvents given should effectively separate one of the following mixtures by TLC. Match the appropriate solvent with the mixture that you would expect to separate well with that solvent. Select your solvent from the following: hexane, methylene chloride, or acetone. You may need to look up the structures of solvents and compounds in a handbook.a. 2-Phenylethanol and acetophenoneb. Bromobenzene and p-xylenec. Benzoic acid, 2,4-dinitrobenzoic acid, and 2,4,6-trinitrobenzoic acid
