Chapter 12A.3, Problem 8P

The mass spectrum of 2, 3-dimethylpentane also shows peaks at m / z = 57 and 43. Propose

possible structures for the ions that give rise to these peaks.

The mass spectrum of 2,3-dimethylpentane shows peaks at m/z = 57 and 43. Propose possible structures for the ions that give rise to these peaks
The mass spectrum of 2,3-dimethylpentane [(CH3)2CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3]shows fragments at m/z = 85 and 71. Propose possible structures for theions that give rise to these peaks.
Butanal and methylpropanal give slightly different mass spectra. Both give a molecular ion peak at m/z = 72, but butanal gives four other peaks whereas methylpropanal only gives three. State the species responsible for the four other peaks in the mass spectrum of butanal and write equations to show their formation from the molecular ion.
