Draw a rearrangement like reaction D in figure 22-12 to show how m/z 58 arises from 4-methyl-2-pentanone.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The structure of the 4-methyl-2-pentanone is shown below :

Step by step solution

01

Mc- Lafferty Rearrangement :

The Mc- Lafferty Rearrangement is a characteristic fragmentation of the

molecular ion of a carbonyl compound containing at least one γ- Hydrogen.

It is an example of intramolecular rearrangement.

02

     Step 2 :  Showing Mc- Lafferty Rearrangement in  4-methyl-2-pentanone :

In the given compound a γ-Hydrogen or 4-H (on numbering from carbonyl carbon) is present. So, there is a possibility of a Mc- Lafferty Rearrangement . After fragmentation we get [a radical cation, mz= 58 . [ C3H0:(12×3)+1×6+16=36+6+16=58].

Hence , due to Mc- Lafferty Rearrangement mz= 58 arises from 4-methyl-2-pentanone.

34: What is collisionally activated dissociation? At what points in a mass spectrometer does it occur?

32:Why is direct electron ionization in Figure 22-14 permissible for gas chromatography, but only for capillary columns in liquidchromatography in Figure 22-29?

The molecular ion region in the mass spectrum of a large molecule, such as a protein, consists of a cluster of peaks differing by 1 Da. This pattern occurs because a molecule with many atoms has a high probability of containing one or several atoms of C1315N,18O,2Hand 32S. In fact, the probability of finding a molecule with only C1214N,16O,1Hand 32S may be so small that the nominal molecular ion is not observed. The electrospray mass spectrum of the rat protein interleukin-8 consists of a series of clusters of peaks arising from intact molecular ions with different charge. One cluster has peaks at m/z 1 961.12, 1 961.35, 1 961.63, 1 961.88, 1 962.12 (tallest peak), 1 962.36, 1 962.60, 1 962.87, 1 963.10, 1 963.34, 1 963.59, 1 963.85, and 1 964.09. These peaks correspond to isotopic ions differing by 1 Da. From the observed peak separation, fi nd the charge of the ions in this cluster. From m/z of the tallest peak, estimate the molecular mass of the protein.

Bone consists of the protein collagen and the mineral hydroxyapatite,Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. The content of archaeological humanskeletons measured by graphite furnace atomic absorption shedslight on customs and economic status of individuals in historicaltimes. 37 Explain why La3+is added to bone samples to suppressmatrix interference in Pbanalysis.

(a) Spectra A and B belong to isomers of C6H12O. Explain how you can tell which isomer goes with each spectrum.

(b) The intensity of theM + 1peak at m/z,101mustbe incorrect in both spectra. It is entirely missing in spectrum A and too intense (15.6% of intensity of M+* ) in spectrum B. What should be the intensity of M + 1 relative to M+* for the compositionC6H12O?
