Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a compound with a mass spectrum showing a molecular ion peak at m/z = 58 and notable fragment ion peaks at m/z = 43, 15, and 29, determine possible structural features of the compound.
💡 Hint: Analyze the fragments for common group patterns.
A compound has an IR spectrum showing a strong peak at 1715 cm⁻¹ and a broad peak around 3300 cm⁻¹. Propose structures that could match these spectral features.
💡 Hint: Consider the functional groups that these peaks correspond to.
