Mass Spectrometry

Mass Spectrometry
1)show the two (separate) possible fragmentation pathways that generate detectable
fragments of the molecule shown below. Hence, draw the structure of the fragments you
would expect in the mass spectra of this molecule.
2) the mass spectrum of an unknown alcohol (molecular formula= C5H12O) showed the
following data: M+ = 88 and fragments at m/ z=73,70, and 59
Determine the structure for the alcohol that fits this data. Hence show/explain how fragments
73, 70, and 59 are formed
3) what fragments are expected in the mass spectrum of the compound shown below? Clearly
draw the structure of the fragments
 
 
 
4) consider the compound shown below. Its mass spectrum shows base peak at m/z= 59. Show
(using equation) how the ion, that corresponds on this peak, is formed and hence draw the
structure of the ion.
5) assign compounds A and B to its correct mass spectrum. Clearly explain your answer
