Question
Chapter 12, Problem 12.37AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The compounds A and B are to be identified on the basis of mass spectrum.
Concept introduction:
In mass spectroscopy, compounds are identified on the basis of mass of compound. When the compound breaks into fragments then they can be distinguished from the other compounds. This technique is also used to differentiate the isotopes of compounds. This technique did not interact with

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?
