Chapter 9, Problem 40P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The structure of the compound that gives the spectra ${}^1{\text{H,}}^{13}\text{C }$ and IR spectra is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Mass spectrometry is a technique used for measuring the masses of atoms and molecules with 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 lose an electron and converts it into a radical cation, which is known as a molecular ion. With the help of 13 C NMR the types of carbon atom can be determined and the IR spectroscopy can be used in detecting the functional groups present.
