Chapter 0, Problem 21-63(choose chapter or problem)
The mass spectra of acid derivatives follow the principles shown in Chapter 18 for other carbonyl compounds and for alkoxy groups. Both McLafferty rearrangements and alpha-cleavages are common. The mass spectrum for butyl butanoate shows two prominent even-mass fragments at m z 88 and m z 60. Propose structures for these two fragments, and show what fragmentations produce them.
