Base peak for 1-phenyl-1-butanone
« on: January 26, 2017, 12:53:47 PM »
Mc Lafferty can occur for C=O or C=C, thus yielding 105 and 121 as two peaks, but which one will be base peak?

The base peak is that with the greatest relative intensity, so what determines rel int. Once an ion has been formed?

Obviously, the most stable cation will resemble base peak, if C=O will break its α-β bond -C-O+H will form, in other case -C-C+H will be formed. Please correct me if I'm wrong and thus the latter is preferred

Ionization of R1-CO-R2 will give R1-CO+ and R2-CO+
Which in your case will be more stable ?

I think it depends on the stability of the radical R2° or R1° as R-CO+ is stabilised by back bonding. please correct if i'm worng
I made these structures depending on Mc Lafferty, please tell which one will be base peak?

I don't believe that your drawn structure is 1-phenyl-1-butanone.
Please check !

Search NIST for MS of butyrophenon

AWK,
Why provide the answer on a platter, when our job is to help them think it through for themselves?

s30.93a discusses other compound (2-propyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-naphthalen-1-one). Two main peaks of butyrophenon are 105 and 77. Title of thread is incorrect.

No, i want to know base peak for both the compounds.
The latter which I posted has more possibilities for Mc Lafferty.
I want to know which of the fragmentation is preferred, thus I'll subsequently apply that fact to 1-phenyl-1-butanone

I already knew such databases, but looking for reasons.

Then start from easier compound - butyrophenone. Show us McLafferty rearrangement
and two α-cleavages for this compound.

These are the two possible rearrangements.

These not give ions 105 and 77 which are most abundant in the spectrum of butyrophenone. Check α-cleavages.
