Chapter 19.14, Problem 25P
Interpretation Introduction

a)

Organic Chemistry, Chapter 19.14, Problem 25P , additional homework tip  1

Interpretation:

How mass spectrometry is useful in distinguishing between 3-methyl-2-hexanone and 4-methyl-2-hexanone is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

In the mass spectrum of organic compounds, normally peaks due to Mc Lafferty rearrangement and α cleavage are generally visible. In Mc Lafferty rearrangement, aldehydes and ketones that have hydrogens on the γ carbons transfer the hydrogen on the carbon to the carbonyl oxygen and the bond between the α and β carbons is broken to yield an alkene. The charge remains with the oxygen containing fragment. In the α cleavage, the bond between the carbonyl carbon and the α carbon breaks to yield a neutral radical and a resaonance stabilized acyl cation.

To state:

How to distinguish between 3-methyl-2-hexanone and 4-methyl-2-hexanone using mass spectrometry.
