Chapter 12, Problem 38P

An unknown X shows a broad absorption band in the infrared at 3200-3550 c m 1 but none in the 1620-1780 c m 1 region. It contains only C, H, and O. A 116-mg sample was created with an excess of methylmagnesium bromide, producing 48.7 mL of methane gas collected over mercury at 20°C and 750 mm Hg. The mass spectrum of X has its molecular ion (barely detectable) at 116 m/z and a fragment peak at 98. What does this information tell you about the structure of X?

Draw the structure of the important peaks in the mass spectrum of C9H8O (unsaturation = 6) Major Peaks:  m/z = 132, 103, 77, 53
Identify and explain the IR absorption characteristics of the unknown C6H14O in the 1400 to 4000 cm-1 range. Then identify the class of the unknown compound C6H14O.  At the broad peak I believe it is either an alcohol & phenol or an amine. For the second peak i think it is an alkane.
3. Identify C-Cl stretching peaks in CDC13 and CHC13 spectra. Do these peaks have exactly the same frequencies for both compounds? Explain your answer. 4. Is the C==O stretching frequency the same for acetone and deuterated acetone? Explain your answer. 5. Identify C==O overtone in acetone spectrum which corresponds to the transition from ground level, n=0, to the second excited level, n=2.
