The Microscale Laboratory
A Microscale GC-MS Experiment: Identification of an Acyclic Saturated Ketone
Alex T. Rowland
Gettysburg College, Gettysburg, PA 17325
Cover
August 1995
Vol. 72 No. 8
p. A160
Abstract
The identification of an unknown acyclic, saturated ketone containing up to nine carbons is accomplished by analysis of its mass spectrum and the mass spectrum of the derivative formed by exchange of the alpha hydrogens by treatment of the unknown with KODMeOD. Analysis of the two spectra according to the common modes of ketone fragmentation often identifies the unknown. When uncertainty remains, 13-C NMR data are given to aid in the identification of the correct constitution.
