Question
Chapter 9, Problem 16PP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structures and the mechanism of fragmentation that corresponds to ions with m/z 57 and 41 in the mass spectrum of 4-methyl-1-hexene are to be proposed.
Concept introduction:
Cleavage of a single bond produces a cation and a radical. The Cation can be detected using positive ion mass spectrometry and since the radical is not charged, it will be undetected.
Chain branching or cleavage of a single bond at branch points will occur such that the carbocation formed is more stable. In simple words, the stability of carbocation determines the fragmentation pattern.

2,3-Dimethylbutane and 2,2-dimethylbutane have the same molecular ion in the mass spectrum, but only one of these isomers gives a significant fragment at m/z = 57. (a) Which isomer shows an intense peak at m/z = 57? (b) Propose a structure for the ion that gives rise to this peak. (c) The base peak in the mass spectrum of the other isomer occurs at m/z = 43. What ion gives rise to this peak?
The mass spectrum of 2,3-dimethylpentane [(CH3)2CHCH(CH3)CH2CH3]shows fragments at m/z = 85 and 71. Propose possible structures for theions that give rise to these peaks.
G.5 Mass spectra were acquired for 1,4-diethylbenzene and 1-methyl-4-
propylbenzene. The base peak of spectrum A is at m/z = 105 and that of
spectrum B is at mlz = 119. Match each spectrum to its compound.
