thanks im avin rite fun n games with this... im currently tryin 2 identify mass spectrum peaks. any ideas as to what the following peaks could be? 45m/z 64 66 81 109 120 138 141? im avin 2 do mass spec, ir, 13c 1h etc... im goin mad
Definitely a phenol with a carboxylic acid. It could most likely be salicylic acid where the OH and COOH are ortho to each other. But you can't know this for sure from mass spec or IR alone - have to use NMR.
i thought th 81 may be hbr or something, 45 = cooh , but theres all the rest, and i dont get it.... considering weve been given the formula (which i thouhgt was salicyclic acid), do all the peaks need analysin, if so, what r they? im sooo confused...
