Consider the following pairs of neutral loss and its identity.

15 - Methyl

18 - Water

28 - Carbon monoxide

31 - Hydroxyl

How many of the pairs given above are correctly matched?

  • A.Only one
  • B.Only two
  • C.All four
  • D.Only three

Answer: D

The first three are correct and the fourth is not, so three match. A loss of thirty-one is a methoxy group, characteristic of methyl esters and ethers; hydroxyl is seventeen. A short table of common losses accounts for most of what a spectrum shows, and reading differences between peaks rather than their absolute masses is what makes the table usable.
