Section A

Please answer the following questions and explain your reasoning

a) Carboxylic acids such as 1 (where X indicates an alkyl group) commonly undergo α-cleavage when subjected to electron impact mass spectrometry.

1) Give the mechanism for α-cleavage and predict which signals (quoted as either m/z values in amu, or as differences in mass between starting material and fragmentation product, in amu) you would observe during EI-MS?

2) Explain your reasoning?

b) The molecule 2 may undergo a McLafferty rearrangement.


1) Draw a mechanism to show how this process operates for this molecule?

2) Identifying the fragments that result?

3) Indicating which fragments would be observed in EI-MS?

Section B

(a) The 1H NMR spectrum of compound C1(a) C10H12O2 (in CDCl3) is shown below.

1. Use this information to deduce the molecular structure for compound C1(a).
2. Show your reasoning throughout and confirm your answer (and the exclusion of alternative isomers) as far as possible by reference to the appropriate chemical shift tables provided below.
