Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 45P
Acetic acid has a mass spectrum showing a molecular ion peak at m/z 60. Other unbranched monocarboxylic acids with four or more carbon atoms also have a peak, frequency prominent, at m/z 60. Show how this can occur.

Ater analyzing a mass spectrum you conclude that the molecule being analyzed has the molecular formula C4H8; however, there are five possible constitutional isomers with that same molecular formula. the only thing that stands out in the mass spectrum is a strong fragment signal at m/z=41. Determine the possible constitutional isomers for C4H8 and explain which isomer matches the mass spectrum.
The mass spectrum of n-octane shows a prominent molecular ion peak (m>z 114). There is also a large peak at m>z 57,but it is not the base peak. The mass spectrum of 3,4-dimethylhexane shows a smaller molecular ion, and the peak atmass 57 is the base peak. Explain these trends in abundance of the molecular ions and the ions at mass 57, and predict theintensities of the peaks at masses 57 and 114 in the spectrum of 2,2,3,3-tetramethylbutane.
