3-pentanone (diethyl ketone)..MASS SPECTRUM

Structure: structure
IUPAC Name: 3-pentanone (diethyl ketone)

Analysis: C9H10O MW = 134.18


Mass Spectrum

The spectrum shows a moderate molecular ion peak, and a peak at m-15, strongly suggesting the presence of a labile methyl group. The base peak occurs at m/e = 91, which is highly suggestive of a benzyl fragment. The presence of an intense peak at m/e = 43 is also suggestive of the presence of a methyl ketone, which can fragment to form the acylium ion.

The spectrum shows a moderate molecular ion peak, and a peak at m-15, strongly suggesting the presence of a labile methyl group. The base peak occurs at m/e = 91, which is highly suggestive of a benzyl fragment, which rearranges to form the tropylium cation. The presence of an intense peak at m/e = 43 is also suggestive of the presence of a methyl ketone which can fragment to form the acylium ion.
