Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.20SP
(A true story) While organizing the undergraduate stockroom a new chemistry professor found a half-gallon jug containing a cloudy liquid (bp 100-105 °C), marked only “STUDENT PREP.” She ran a quick mass spectrum, which is printed below. As soon as she saw the spectrum (without even checking the actual mass numbers), she said, “I know what it is.”
- a. What compound is the “student prep”? Any uncertainty in the structure?
- b. Suggest structures for the fragments at 136, 107, and 93. Why is the base peak (at m/z 57) so strong?
