What is the most likely molecular formula of a compound (that contains only C, H, and O) which has a molecular ion in the EI mass spectrum with m/z of 104 and an M+1 peak that is 5.5% of the intensity of the molecular ion peak? What is the most likely molecular formula of a compound that has a molecular ion in the EI mass spectrum with m/z of 136, with M+1 and M+2 peaks that are 4.4% and 49% of the intensity of the molecular ion peak, respectively? Treatment of the alkyne (A) under hydroboration-oxidation reaction conditions produces ketones B and C. Provide a detailed account of how these two compounds could be identified with Mass Spectrometry. Details of fragmentation are necessary for consideration for full points.

This problem relates to the norborneol/norbornene mixture that was analyzed by LC-MS in the previous problem. The low-resolution electron-impact (El) mass spectrum obtained from the peak at 5.73 minutes in the chromatogram shown above is provided below. What is the correct designation for the peak at m/z = 94? A. [M + 1]+ B. [M - 1]+ C. [M - 23]+ D. [M - 18]+ E. [M - 15]+
