The mass spec of chlorocyclohexane shows a peak at m/z = 83.
Use curved arrows to show the heterolytic cleavage that accounts for this fragment.
The mass spec of methyl ethyl ether shows peaks at m/z = 45 and 59.
Use hooks to show the alpha cleavages that result in these two fragments.
The mass spec of 4-nonanone shows peaks at m/z = 58, 71, 86, 99.
Using curved arrows or hooks, show how each of these fragments can form via alpha cleavage or the McLafferty rearrangement. (and draw the structure of the indicated species in the appropriate box).
Using your knowledge of 1H NMR, predict the NMR spectrum for the compound below. (draw out the spectrum you would expect to see). Be sure to include:
The proton NMR of cyclohexane gives only one peak when the NMR is run at room temperature.
But when the temperature is lowered to -100 ºC the proton NMR spectrum shows two peaks. Explain.
