3. Isolation of a natural product gave a ketone of molecular formula C8H160. It was decided that this compound must have one of the structures (2 or 3) shown but previous work (pre-mass spectrometry) did not provide a clear distinction between them. The mass spectrum was determined and the base peak was at m/z 72. Deduce with reasoning the structure of the ketone (drawing out the key fragmentation processes to support your deduction). 2 3

A student performed a reaction using 2-methoxyethanol as solvent under acid catalyst. When the solvent was redistilled, a higher boiling fraction (bp=162 °C) was also recovered. The mass spectrum showed a molecular ion at 134 m/z. The H nmr spectrum showed a triplet integrating for 2 at 3.55 ppm, a second triplet integrating for 2 at 3.65 ppm, and a singlet integrating for 3 at 3.4 ppm. Give the structure of the newly formed material that is consistent with this data.
The leaves of the Brazilian Tree Senna multijunga contain a number of pryidine alkaloids that inhibit acetylcholinterinase. Two recentyl isolated isomeric compounds have the strcture have the strcture shown below.

Taking a look at the reaction (first image) The following is the mass spectrum of the compound that was isolated as only product of this reaction (second image) The mass spectrum contains a fragment with m/z=43, which among other possibilities may be interpreted as a fragment with the composition C2H5O+. Suggest a structure for this cation, and draw it
Interpret as many of the main peaks in the following spectra as you can – do this by providing the chemical formula of the species responsible for the peak in each case – you don’t need to outline specific fragmentation pathways, unless you want to! The structures of the chemicals are given to help you, as are a couple of the more obvious bond breakages. Need new solutions. Draw chemdraw computerised
Analyze the following GCMS spectra. In your analysis of each GC-MS spectrum, include: a) The structure of the compound b) The molecular ion (M*) and its corresponding m/z value (if shown in the spectrum) c) The base peak and its corresponding m/z value d) Provide the fragmentation pattern of the molecule. Be sure to clearly indicate the cations and/or radical fragments and their corresponding m/z value from the spectrum.

A two-step synthesis of virstatin reactions are given. Give the yield and % yield of each synthesis. Make a labeled drawing of the equivalent hydrogens for each product. Using the NMR drawings given for each structure, describe how the hydrogens are seen on the NMR by chemical shift, integration, and splitting. Make sure your NMR matches the structure of the product you are proposing. For example: “the triplet at 4ppm, integrating to 2, represents the methylene group (Ha) attached to the nitrogen, as it deshielded by the electronegative element and is split by the neighboring methylene group. If you did not make the intended product in step one of the two step synthesis, explain why it did not matter in regards to further reacting the products to form virstatin.
