Fragmentation of a phenyl methyl ether under electron impact normally occurs by fission of either C-O bond to give ions due to loss from the parent of a methyl radical or, with rearrangement of one hydrogen, a formaldehyde molecule. In the latter case a hydrogen atom may be subsequently lost if a stable tropylium ion may thereby result. If there are present ortho- or para-substituents which are capable of forming a quinonoid structure involving the ether oxygen after removal of a methyl radical, then loss of formaldehyde does not occur.

The mass spectra of some naturally occurring and synthetic α- and γ-pyrones, benzofurans, and 2,2-dimethylchromenes have been determined. Under electron impact compounds derived from coumarin lose oxygen atoms as CO, usually forming a stable benzofuran ion. 2,2-Dimethylchromenes lose a methyl radical to give a stable benzopyrylium ion, while the most prominent fission of flavanoid compounds occurs by breaking both bonds β to the A ring.

The value of isotope labeling in probing the chemistry underlying mass spectra is well established. The usefulness of this approach and the reliability of conclusions reached thereby can be greatly increased by checking dependence of label retentions in fragment ions on operating conditions. For example, varying the ionizing voltage, source temperature, or repeller potential alters the relative contributions of the two competing processes by which methylcyclopentane loses a methyl radical to form isomeric C5H9+ ions. The ions resulting from the two processes are derived from different parts of the original molecule and so can be distinguished by appropriate labeling.

The mass spectra of anisole, anisole-methoxy-d3, meta and para methylanisole, meta and para methyl-d3-anisole, and meta and para niethylanisole-methoxy-d3 have been recorded. From the deuterium labelling and appearance potential studies, the main fragmentation paths on electron impact have been elucidated. The energetics of formation of the CH3OC7H6+ ion from the methylanisoles, benzyl methyl ether, 7-methoxycycloheptatriene, and the ethylanisoles have been studied.

Partial electron impact induced mass spectra are given of 3α-hydroxy-, 3β-hydroxy-, 3β-methoxy-, 3α-acetoxy- and 3β-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-4a,6-cholestadienes, 3α,5α-epoxy-4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-5-cholestane, isomeric 4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-5-cholestene-3α(β),4aα(β)-diols, their 3-acetoxy derivatives and 3-methyl ethers. The fragmentation of the molecular ions of these substances involves the usual elimination of substituents (in the form of H2O, CH3OH, CH3COOH, CH2CO), but the most abundant and characteristic ions are products of the contraction of ring A (to a six- or five-membered one), accompanied by expulsion of a fragment containing the carbon atom C(4) with both methyls.

The crystal structure of tamsulosin hydrochloride has been solved and refined using synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction data and optimized using density functional techniques. Tamsulosin hydrochloride crystallizes in space group P21 (#4) with a = 7.62988(2), b = 9.27652(2), c = 31.84996(12) Å, β = 93.2221(2)°, V = 2250.734(7) Å3, and Z = 4. In the crystal structure, two arene rings are connected by a carbon chain oriented roughly parallel to the c-axis. The crystal structure is characterized by two slabs of tamsulosin hydrochloride molecules perpendicular to the c-axis. As expected, each of the hydrogens on the protonated nitrogen atoms makes a strong hydrogen bond to one of the chloride anions. The result is to link the cations and anions into columns along the b-axis. One hydrogen atom of each sulfonamide group also makes a hydrogen bond to a chloride anion. The other hydrogen atom of each sulfonamide group forms bifurcated hydrogen bonds to two ether oxygen atoms. The powder pattern is included in the Powder Diffraction File™ as entry 00-065-1415.

The mass spectra of six furoquinoline alkaloids have been recorded and mechanisms have been proposed for their fragmentation upon electron impact. Strong metastable peaks, present in all spectra, have aided in the interpretation of the fragmentation of these alkaloids. The three alkaloids with a methoxyl group in the 8-position of the quinoline ring may be differentiated from the other three by the presence of relatively intense peaks at M-1 and M-29.

The mass spectra of representative series of simple alkyl acetoacetates, alkyl acetothioacetates, and some unsaturated esters derived from unsaturated alcohols or phenols are reported and discussed. The fragmentation schemes have been established by high resolution measurements, appropriate metastable ions, and by deuterium and 18O labelling. Many of the spectra show significant skeletal rearrangement fragments arising from either loss of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide.
