Question:What cations are formed in the mass spectrometer by 伪 cleavage of each of the following compounds?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Answer

Step by step solution

01

Step 1: α cleavage in mass spectroscopy

伪- cleavage in mass spectrometry is the cleavage of a specific carbon center attached to a functional group. It is also known as the characteristic fragmentation of a compound.

02

Step 2: Determination of fragments upon α cleavage

a.

The functional group present in this compound is -OH(alcohol). The fragmentation can occur from two sites, as shown below:

伪 cleavage of compound a

b.

Here, the ketone is the functional group, and the fragmentation occurs as shown below:

伪 cleavage of compound b

c.

Here also, the keto group is present, and the fragmentation occurs as shown below:

伪 cleavage of compound c

Question:(a) What mass spectral fragments are formed by 伪 cleavage of butan-2-ol, CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3?

(b) What fragments are formed by dehydration of butan-2-ol?

Question:Like alcohols, ethers undergo 伪 cleavage by breaking a carbon鈥揷arbon bond between an alkyl group and the carbon bonded to the ether oxygen atom; that is, the red C鈥揅 bond in R鈥�CH2OR'is broken. With this in mind, propose structures for the fragments formed by 伪 cleavage of(CH3)2CHCH2OCH2CH3. Suggest a reason why an ether fragments by 伪 cleavage.
