Textbook Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.23SP
An unknown, foul-smelling hydrocarbon gives the mass spectrum and infrared spectrum shown.
- a. Use the mass spectrum to propose a molecular formula. How many elements of unsaturation are there?
- b. Use the IR spectrum to determine the
functional group (s), if any. - c. Propose one or more structures for this compound. What parts of the structure are uncertain? If you knew that hydrogenation of the compound gives n-octane, would the structure still be uncertain?
- d. Propose structures for the major fragments at 39, 67, 81, and 95 in the mass spectrum.
