Question
Chapter 9, Problem 18PP
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.
