Use the following information to propose a molecular formula for nootkatone, a compound partly responsible for the characteristic odor of grapefruit. Nootkatone contains the elements C, H, and O, has ve degrees of unsaturation, and a molecular ion in its mass spectrum at m/z = 218.
The molecular ion peak in a mass spectrum of compound W appears at m/z = 107. Predict the molecular
formula of compound W. (Hint: Compound W contains a heteroatom, not only carbon and hydrogen).
Propylbenzene, C6H5CH2CH2CH3, and isopropyl benzene, C6H5CH(CH3)2, are constitutional isomers with the molecular formula C9H12. One of these compounds shows prominent peaks in its mass spectrum at m/z 120 and 105. The other shows prominent peaks at m/z 120 and 91. Which compound has which spectrum?
