Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 45P
Acetic acid has a mass spectrum showing a molecular ion peak at m/z 60. Other unbranched monocarboxylic acids with four or more carbon atoms also have a peak, frequency prominent, at m/z 60. Show how this can occur.

Propylbenzene, C6H5CH2CH2CH3, and isopropyl benzene, C6H5CH(CH3)2, are constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C9H12. One of these compounds shows prominent peaks in its mass spectrum at m/z 120 and 105. The other shows prominent peaks at m/z 120 and 91. Which compound has which spectrum?
2,3-Dimethylbutane and 2,2-dimethylbutane have the same molecular ion in the mass spectrum, but only one of these isomers gives a significant fragment at m/z = 57. (a) Which isomer shows an intense peak at m/z = 57? (b) Propose a structure for the ion that gives rise to this peak. (c) The base peak in the mass spectrum of the other isomer occurs at m/z = 43. What ion gives rise to this peak?
