Can you help me break down the fragmentation of this mass spec spectra? Although the compound is not given, using the H NMR, C NMR and IR spectras that were also given, I found the compound to be CH3-COOH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 (butyl acetate) In this Mass spec, it is given that M+=116 and I have found that fragmenting CH3 is 101, then CH2 is 87, and CH2 again is 73. I am just lost on where to go from there, while being left with CH3-COOH-CH2, because there are multiple peaks between 43 and 73 that I can't seem to figure out. Any help would be great!
