(i)
Identify the molecular ion peak of compound B.
(ii) Explain the peak at m/z 182 in terms of intensity.
(iii) Explain the formation of the other labelled fragments (m/z 180, 104 and 77).
Relative Intensity
A compound used as a moth repellant has three molecular ion peaks at m/z = 146 (100%), 148 (65%) & 150 (10%) amu in its mass spectrum. A pair of smaller peaks are seen at m/z= 111 (34%) & 113 (11%). The infrared spectrum shows sharp absorption just above 3000 cm^-1 region, and also at 1480 cm^-1. The ^1 H nmr shows a single sharp signal at delta = 7.2 ppm, and the ^13 C nmr has two signals (delta = 133 & 130 ppm).
