2. Consider the mass spectrum and IR spectrum provided below. Propose a structure that is consistent with both spectra provided. Draw your structure (Lewis or line structure is okay) in the box provided.
Expert Answer
From Mass spectrum Molecular weight of unknown compound is given m/z = 72 Molecular formula = C4H8O from this first we should find the Index of Hydrogen Deficiency (HDI) degrees of unsaturation Formula for degree of unsaturation or HDI = { 2 + 2x(no
