Mass Spect:Fragmentation
15. Analytical Techniques:IR, NMR, Mass Spect / Mass Spect:Fragmentation / Problem 1
An unknown compound gives a weak molecular ion peak at m/z 99 in the mass spectrum. Its NMR spectrum is shown here. The IR spectrum has shown a weak peak at 2255 cm-1, a strong peak at 1750 cm-1, and a strong peak at 1205 cm-1.
Determine its structure and propose a suitable fragmentation for the MS peak at m/z 68.
