Mass spectrum
« on: September 08, 2021, 03:26:08 AM »
Hi!!

I would know the right molecule assocoated to tjis mass mass spectrum

Is there a site that can give me the right molecule  ???
Thanks

Here are some thoughts.  You can sometimes apply the rule of 12 and the nitrogen rule to good effect.  Try subtracting the mass of a fragment from M.  More specifically, your spectrum has an unusual feature.  I am only familiar with two functional groups that often display this feature (there might be others).  Identifying likely functional groups might cut the territory down.

Hi Babcock !!

Usually the -1 loss with an high peak is an aldehyde...

But I also see a -18 loss (water) that I think is typical of alcahol and carboxylic acid (perhaps COOH gives -17 not 18)....I also see a -28 loss so there sould be a C=O!
Also I see a 76 instad a 77...can it mean that the ring has two substituents?   maybe an aldehyde and an alcohol??

PS: I also see that when I loss the aldehydic group (29) I get 93, that should be phenyl + alcohol.

THANKS

PS: what do you mean with  nitrogen rule? That if M+* is even I don't have nitroger or at least 2N/4N ecc ??

Other functional groups with a substantial M-1 are alkynes and some amines and alcohols.  I would subtract the mass of the heteroatom(s) and apply the rule of 12.

When there are an odd number of nitrogens, the value of M is a odd number.
