Chapter 18, Problem 18.73SP
The mass spectrum of unknown compound A shows a molecular ion at m/z 116 and prominent peaks at m/z 87 and m/z 101. Its UV spectrum shows no maximum above 200 nm. The IR and NMR spectra of A follow. When A is washed with dilute aqueous acid, extracted into dichloromethane, and the solvent evaporated, it gives a product B. B shows a strong carbonyl signal at 1715cm−1 in the IR spectrum and a weak maximum at 274 nm (ε=16) in the UV spectrum. The mass spectrum of B shows a molecular ion of m/z 72. Determine the structures of A and B, and show the fragmentation to account for the peaks at m/z 87 and 101.
