7. Determine the structure that fits the following mass spectrometry from the list of possible structures. (10 pts) CI CBH18 C,H140 2 CH140 ul 83 96 113 114 100 110 m/z

Solution

Compound 5, cyclohexylmethanol.

As it looses water molecule which corresponds to Molecular ion at m/Z-96.

By alpha cleavage, forms ion at 83 by the loss of CH2=OH+. (31).
