What differences or similarities would you expect to see when you compare the mass spectra of 2-ethoxy-2-mehtylpropane with the mass spectrum diisopropyl ether? Draw the structure and indicate the m/z value for the more significant peaks.
Let us draw the structures of the two given compounds first
Both will show one major peak at 102
Now the difference in the mass spectra of two will be due to different fragmentation pattern
The fragmentation and the m/z peaks will be
1) diisopropyl ether
2) 2-ethoxy -2-methyl propane
