I need help with reading my mass spectrum...the base peak (higher peak) is 91 and the parent peak which is the molecular ion peak of 106 mass unit. However, how do i know what compound it is...please help me out with this question thanks :)

10pts best answer greatly appreciated

    We need more information. It's not possible to determine the compound with just two masses. What else do you know? The difference between the two 106-91 = 15 which is a methyl group (CH3) attached to a heteroatom (an atom that is different to carbon). Best guess at the moment is some kind methyl ester or a methyl ether.
