Question
Chapter 9, Problem 16PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures and the mechanism of fragmentation that corresponds to ions with m/z 57 and 41 in the mass spectrum of 4-methyl-1-hexene are to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Cleavage of a single bond produces a cation and a radical. The Cation can be detected using positive ion mass spectrometry and since the radical is not charged, it will be undetected.
Chain branching or cleavage of a single bond at branch points will occur such that the carbocation formed is more stable. In simple words, the stability of carbocation determines the fragmentation pattern.

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.
A researcher performed the reaction described in the diagram below:
C6H14O2 + H2SO4 ( solvent) ------> C6H12O + H2O
After isolating the formed product, the researcher obtained the following mass and infrared spectra:
Based on the spectra listed, propose a structural formula for the obtained molecule.
Provide the structure of the organic molecule that would give rise to these spectra. (Include: degree of unsaturation, present functional groups, assignment of all 1H and 13C NMR peaks by labeling each peak with specific atoms in the structure).
