The first compound has the
C O
absorption band at the largest wavenumber because a lone pair on the
ring oxygen can be delocalized onto two different atoms; therefore, it is less apt than the lone pair in the
other compounds to be delocalized onto the carbonyl oxygen atom.

The third compound has the
C O
absorption band at the smallest wavenumber because its carbonyl group
has more single-bond character due to contributions from two other resonance contributors.

The ketone shown below will show peaks at
m
>
z
=
71 (loss of an ethyl group) and at
m
>
z
=
57 (loss of
an isopropyl group). Because it does not have a
g
-hydrogen, it cannot undergo a McLafferty rearragement.
Therefore, it will not have a peak at

=
58.

indicate that the compound
is an alcohol. The base peak at
m

45 indicates that the OH group is on the second carbon. The
absence of significant peaks an

group that can be cleaved from the molecule. The compound is 4-methyl-2-pentanol.
