Chapter 13, Problem 13.34P

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?

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?
(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 Intensity
A 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).
