Use the data below from an electron impact mass spectrum of a pure compound to deduce its structure. Draw your structure in the drawing window.
The functional groups in an organic compound can frequently be deduced from its infrared absorption spectrum. A compound containing no nitrogen exhibits strong, broad absorption across the 2500-3300 cm-1 region, accompanied by 2200 (w) and 1715 (s) cm-1 bands.
Relative absorption intensity: (s)=strong, (m)=medium, (w)=weak.
What functional class(es) does the compound belong to?
List only classes for which evidence is given here. Attach no significance to evidence not cited explicitly.
Do not over-interpret exact absorption band positions. None of your inferences should depend on small differences like 10 to 20 cm-1.
The functional class(es) of this compound is(are).(Enter letters from the table below, in any order, with no spaces or commas.)
Explanation / Answer
Compound structure from mass spectrum
First data set,
M+ = 73
odd mass so it has N
loss of NH2 gives = m/z 57
loss of CH2 gives base peak m/z 43
Compound structure,
CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-NH2
---
Second data set
M+ = 50 and M+2 at 52 in ratio 3 : 1, so it has 35Cl : 37Cl
loss of Cl gives m/z 15
structure,
CH3-Cl
---
Third mass data,
M+ 59
loss of -NH2 gives m/z 43
Structure,
CH3-CH2-CH2-NH2
---
IR spectrum analysis
--
First spectrum shows,
1750 cm-1 peaks for C=O stretch
The compound is an ester (k)
--
Second spectrum shows,
two peaks between 3300-3400 cm-1 peaks for N-H stretch
The compound is an amine (h.)
---
Third spectrum shows,
1750 cm-1 peaks for C=O stretch
The compound is an ester (k.)
