Chapter 9, Problem 30P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of the fragment ions of
Concept introduction:
Mass spectrometry is a technique used for measuring the masses of atoms and molecules with great accuracy.
In a mass spectrometer, the vapor of an organic compound is bombarded with a beam of high energy electrons that makes the neutral molecule loose an electron and get converted to a radical cation, known as molecular ion.

1 (c) 2-Methyl-3-pentanol reacts with PCC to form compound F.
(i) Draw the structure of F.
(ii) In the mass spectrum, identify the m/z value of the molecular ion peak for compound F.
(ii) Fragmentation of radical cation F exhibits two fragment ion peaks at m/z 57 and m/z 71. Propose
the structures of these two fragments.
(iv) Draw the resonance structure for each of the cation in (iii).
The base peak in the mass spectrum of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane (molecular mass = 142) is at m/z = 57, which corresponds to a composition of C4H9. Suggest a structure for the fragment that accounts for this peak and offer a reason for why this fragment is so abundant.
The mass spectrum of 2,2-dimethylpropane shows only a very weak molecular ion peak at m/z = 72. However, a large peak at m/z = 57 is seen. Suggest a possible structure of the fragment giving rise to this large peak and suggest a reason as to why this peak is so large.
