Chapter 9, Problem 33P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the fragment ions of 4-methyl-2-pentanone and its m/z  value is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Mass spectrometry is a technique used for measuring the masses of atoms and molecules with great accuracy.

In a mass spectrometer, the vapor of an organic compound is bombarded with a beam of high energy electrons that makes the neutral molecule loose an electron and get converted to a radical cation, known as molecular ion.

1 (c) 2-Methyl-3-pentanol reacts with PCC to form compound F. (i) Draw the structure of F. (ii) In the mass spectrum, identify the m/z value of the molecular ion peak for compound F. (ii) Fragmentation of radical cation F exhibits two fragment ion peaks at m/z 57 and m/z 71. Propose the structures of these two fragments. (iv) Draw the resonance structure for each of the cation in (iii).
The base peak in the mass spectrum of 2,2,5,5-tetramethylhexane (molecular mass = 142) is at m/z = 57, which corresponds to a composition of C4H9. Suggest a structure for the fragment that accounts for this peak and offer a reason for why this fragment is so abundant.
Shown below is the mass spectrum of a compound prepared using a Friedel-Crafts Reaction.  Match the mass spectrum with one of the following compounds.
