A. One mechanism of fragmentation is loss of a neutral radical by cleavage of a bond from which one electron has been lost. What is the m/z ratio of the most stable cationic fragment that can be generated from dexchlorpheniramine by this mechanism? Show the structure of the fragment and discuss charge stabilization.

B. The base peak in the dexchlorpheniramine mass spectrum occurs at m/z 203. A peak with relative intensity 33.1 occurs at m/z 205. Interpret this information with reference to the original mass and molecular formula of the parent molecule.

C. The base peak in the dexchlorpeniramine mass spectrum (described in question 5) corresponds to a fragment generated through an intramolecular elimination reaction. Identify the atom that acts as a base in this elimination, and draw both products. Indicate which product appears at m/z 203 as a cation radical.

    Name: 2.2 Hydrogen The relative isotopic abundance for hydrogen 2H: 1H is about 0.00016: 1, and therefore hydrogen isotopic substitutions are unlikely to play a major role in any observed (M+1) peak. The isotope 2H is called "heavy hydrogen or deuterium, and is given the symbol D. We can often provide support for mechanisms by incorporating isotopes such as 13C or D into compounds using isotopically labelled reagents. Mass spectrometry is a useful tool for analyzing such isotopic incorporation by...
