45 ### Compound Analysis: IR and Mass SpectrometryA compound displays a prominent peak at 3400 cm-1 in its IR spectrum. The mass spectrum of the compound shows a molecular ion with m/z (mass-to-charge ratio) of 74. Additionally, there is a base peak at m/z = 45. Based on this data, draw a structure that best fits these characteristics.#### Infrared (IR) Spectrum:- **Prominent Peak at 3400 cm-1:** This typically indicates the presence of an O-H or N-H bond, which is characteristic of alcohols, phenols, or amines.#### Mass Spectrum:- **Molecular Ion Peak at m/z = 74:** Indicates the molecular weight of the compound.- **Base Peak at m/z = 45:** The most intense peak, possibly from a stable fragment of the compound.**[Dotted Box]**: "Select to Draw" – This is an interactive area to draw a proposed structure that aligns with the data provided. #### Considerations for Structure:- **O-H or N-H group**: Suggested by the IR peak.- **Molecular Formula Possibilities:** You may explore molecular formulas that match a molecular weight of 74. Possible candidates might include simple alcohols, amines, or other small molecules.- **Fragment Stability:** The base peak at 45 likely corresponds to a stable ionic fragment or a specific part of the molecule.To proceed, draw a chemical structure that aligns with these interpretations to help determine the likely identity of the compound.
