The mass spectra of a series of [18]annulene derivatives are reported and discussed. The majority of fragmentation modes exhibited in these spectra are produced by well-defined skeletal reorganization. In the case of one compound, all the observed fragmentations occur as the result of skeletal rearrangement processes. This appears to be the first reported example of such a phenomenon.

Skeletal-rearrangement fragments are observed in the mass spectra of all anils derived from aromatic aldehydes. The rearrangement processes have been studied by high-resolution mass spectrometry and in certain cases by deuterium labelling. All processes are of the general type [ABC]+ → [AC]+ +B.

The mass spectra of acyl phosphoranes exhibit peaks which arise by P-O bond formation. The problem of thermal against electron impact rearrangement is considered and the rearrangements have been studied by deuterium labelling. The formation of the fluorenyl cation (m/e 165) has also been investigated.

The mass spectra of substituted isoxazoles are reported and discussed. The spectra of isoxazoles are strikingly different from those of oxazoles because the initial fragmentations of isoxazoles involve N-O bond fission. Specific skeletal-rearrangement processes are observed in many spectra, and it is proposed that they proceed through azirine and oxazole intermediates. Certain fragmentations have been studied by deuterium labelling. The hydrogens attached to an isoxazole ring do not randomize with the hydrogens of the methyl and phenyl substituents.

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.

The negative-ion mass spectra of aromatic azoxy compounds, nitrones, and N-oxides exhibit pronounced molecular ions and simple fragmentation processes. No skeletal-rearrangement fragments are produced upon electron impact, in marked contrast to those exhibited in the positive-ion spectra of these compounds.

The azido ketones 4c–e and 10a–d reacted with triphenylphosphine under mild conditions to give the benzo-1,4-diazepin-2-ones 7c–e and the 1,2-dihydropyrazin-2-ones 12a–d, respectively.The electron impact induced fragmentation of the 1,5-disubstituted-1,2-dihydropyrazin-2-ones was shown to occur by extensive skeletal rearrangement. The 1,5-diaryl derivatives 12a–c fragmented via 1,4-diarylimidazole species produced by the expulsion of CO from the molecular ion. In contrast, the 1-cyclohexyl-5-phenyl derivative 12d fragmented almost entirely via a 2-hydroxypyrazine intermediate derived from the molecular ion by McLafferty cleavage.

Aryl hydroxamic acid derivatives fragment in a diagnostic manner upon electron impact. A hydroxamic acid containing both styryl and benzyl substituents undergoes skeletal-rearrangement of the type ABC → AC+B. The mass spectra of the O- and N-acetyl derivatives of O- benzylhydroxamic acids are indistinguishable. M-CO2 fragments are again observed in the mass spectra of several substituted phthalimides.
