(Another true story.) A student who was checking into her lab desk found an unlabeled sample from a previous student. She was asked to identify the sample. She did an IR spectrum and declared, “It looks like an alkane.” But it seemed too reactive to be an alkane, so she did a GC–MS. The mass spectrum is shown next. Identify the compound as far as you can, and state what part of your identification is uncertain. Propose fragments corresponding to the numbered peaks.
