Question
Chapter 12.3, Problem 4P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The masses of the parent ion and several other fragments formed, expected to be found in the mass spectrum of the compound represented by the model, are to be given.
Concept introduction:
Alcohols undergo fragmentation by both dehydration and alpha cleavage. In the alpha cleavage a C-C bond is broken to yield a neutral radical along with a resonance stabilized oxygen containing cation.
To give:
The masses of the parent ion and several other fragments formed, expected to be found in the mass spectrum of the compound represented by the model.
