- Write molecular formulas for compounds that show the following molecular ions in their high-resolution mass spectra, assuming that C, H, N, and O might be present. The exact atomic masses are: 1.007 83 (1H), 12.000 00 (12C), 14.003 07 (14N), 15.994 91 (16O). (a) M+=98.0844 (b) M+=123.0320arrow_forwardThe mass spectrum and 13C NMR spectrum of a hydrocarbon are shown. Propose a structure for this hydrocarbon, and explain the spectral data.arrow_forwardFollowing is the mass spectrum of 3-methyl-2-butanol. The molecular ion m/z 88 does not appear in this spectrum. Propose structural formulas for the cations of m/z 45, 43, and 41.arrow_forward
- (a) Based on the mass spectrum shown below, 100 73 LOH 80 - A 58 20 - 100 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 m/z (i) identify the molecular ion peak of compound A. (ii) explain how the labelled fragments are formed. Relative Intensityarrow_forwardPropose a molecular formula for a compound that exhibits the following peaks in its mass spectrum. (M)+• at m/z = 68, relative height = 100% (base peak) (M+1)+• at m/z = 69, relative height = 4.3%arrow_forwardA compound used as a moth repellant has three molecular ion peaks at m/z = 146 (100%), 148 (65%) & 150 (10%) amu in its mass spectrum. A pair of smaller peaks are seen at m/z= 111 (34%) & 113 (11%). The infrared spectrum shows sharp absorption just above 3000 cm^-1 region, and also at 1480 cm^-1. The ^1 H nmr shows a single sharp signal at delta = 7.2 ppm, and the ^13 C nmr has two signals (delta = 133 & 130 ppm).arrow_forward
- (a) A compound with molecular formula C12H2408 gave 8 = 3.66 ppm a single (for peak at 'H-NMR) and 8= 70-91 ppm (for 13C). The 13C peak was inverted under DEPT considerations. Predict the molecular structure and assign values.arrow_forwardAlthough 2,2-dimethylhexane has a molecular weight of 114, no peak is observed at m/z = 114. The base peak in the mass spectrum occurs at M-57 (a) Draw the fragmentation responsible for the formation of M-57 ion (b) Explain why this cation is the most abundant ion to pass through the spectrometer. (c) Explain why no molecular ion survive long enough to be detected. (d) Can you offer an explanation as to why M-15 peak is not the base peak?arrow_forwardThe mass spectrum of the following compound shows fragments at m/z= 127, 113, and 85. Propose structures for the ions that give rise to thesepeaks.arrow_forward
- A (a) Draw the structures of the species that correspond to each of the peaks A-E in the following mass spectrum of heptane. (b) Identify the M* peak, the M + 1 peak, and the base peak. 100 80 – 60 40 20 D 20 40 60 80 100 120 m/z Relative abundancearrow_forwardThe mass spectrum of an alcohol (C5H12O) exhibits a base peak at m/z =59. Is the alcohol most likely pentan-1-ol, pentan-2-ol, or pentan-3-ol? Explain.arrow_forwardPropose a molecular formula for a compound that exhibits the following peaks in its mass spectrum Problem 1: (M)+• at m/z = 72, relative height = 38.3% of base peak; (M+1)+• at m/z = 73, relative height = 1.7% of base peakarrow_forward
