Chapter 12, Problem 12-20

(choose chapter or problem)

(A true story.) While organizing the undergraduate stockroom, a new chemistry professor found a half-gallon jug containing a cloudy liquid (bp 100105 C), marked only STUDENT PREP. She ran a quick mass spectrum, which is printed below. As soon as she saw the spectrum (without even checking the actual mass numbers), she said, I know what it is. 160150140130120110100908070605040302010 100 80 60 40 20 abundance m/z 0 57 93 107 136 (a) What compound is the student prep? Any uncertainty in the structure? (b) Suggest structures for the fragments at 136, 107, and 93. Why is the base peak (at m>z 57) so strong?
