Interpretation:
The McLafferty rearrangement for the molecular ion of pentanoic acid is to be drawn.
Concept introduction:
These two fragmentation pathways – heterolysis and α-cleavage – are also common to other compound classes that have
In addition to α-cleavage, there is another fragmentation pathway characteristic of carbonyl-containing compounds. A carbonyl-containing compound can undergo a McLafferty rearrangement if an alkyl group attached to the carbonyl carbon possesses a

- looking at this reaction (first image), The second image shows the 13C NMR spectrum of the 2-acetnaphthone which is the starting material and an 13C NMR spectrum obtained for the reaction product: Based a comparison of the two 13C NMR spectra, is product A or product B the major product of the reaction? - Explain your reasoning.arrow_forwardExamine the 1H NMR spectrum of sesamin attached a. In the TABLE directly below the structure of sesamin shown here, assign 1H NMR peak ppm values to the equivalent sets of NON-AROMATIC hydrogensarrow_forwardHINT: Integration is just a ratio not the actual number of hydrogens. Q1: The following alcohol undergoes elimination in the presence of concentrated sulfuric acid, but the product shown is not its chief product. Instead, another isomeric six-carbon alkene forms. This product shows a large peak at 20.4 ppm and a smaller one at 123.4 ppm in its proton-decoupled 13C NMR spectrum. Draw the structure of the product and interpret the spectrum. Outline a mechanism for the formation of the product that possesses this spectrum. CH3 CH;-CH-CH-CH2-OH CH3 H,SO, CH;-CH-C=CH2 + H,0arrow_forward

The following is the 13C NMR spectrum of a highly concentrated solution of dicyclopentadiene obtained in chloroform-d. Despite the high purity of the compound based on ¹H NMR, there is a massive peak observed at 77.2 ppm in this 13C spectrum, which doesn't correspond to any resonances expected for dicyclopentadiene. What is this peak, and why do you not see a corresponding peak for this compound in your ¹H NMR spectrum? 79-751 <-136.22 -132.62 132.27 132.23 135 130 125 120 115 110 105 100 95 90 85 80 75 70 65 60 55 50 45 40 35 30arrow_forward
