Fragmentation Patterns

The mass spectra of a series of a-diketones are reported and discussed. Fragmentation patterns have been substantiated by exact mass measurements, metastable ions, and in two cases, by deuterium labelling studies. The McLafferty rearrangement is not observed in the spectra of aliphatic α-diketones; fragmentation proceeds by α-cleavage. The fragmentation modes of those cyclic α-diketones studied depend largely on the ring size. Molecular ions are observed in all spectra.

Fragmentation Patterns

The mass spectra of 37 imidazoles are reported and discussed. The spectra exhibit pronounced molecular ions and characteristic fragmentation patterns. The fragmentation modes have been substantiated by deuterium labelling, exact mass measurements, and appropriate metastable ions. Skeletal rearrangement fragments are rare in these spectra; consequently mass spectrometry is useful for structure elucidation of imidazoles.

Fragmentation Processes

The mass spectra of a series of alkaloids of the spermatheridine group, together with those of their alkoxy derivatives, are reported and discussed. The characteristic fragmentation processes, substantiated by appropriate metastable peaks, exact mass measurements, and in some cases by deuterium labelling, facilitate the location of substituents in the tetracyclic system. A structure for moschatoline is deduced from a consideration of the mass spectra of its derivatives.

The mass spectra of substituted pyridazines, phthalazines, and related compounds are reported and discussed. Molecular ions are a prominent feature of all the spectra, and fragmentation modes may be usefully correlated with both the type of heterocycle and its substitution pattern. Fragmentation patterns have been substantiated by extensive high resolution studies and appropriate metastable ions.

Fragmentation Patterns

The mass spectra of 34 acridones have been determined and interpreted with the aid of both high-resolution measurements and deuterium labelling studies. The spectra contain pronounced molecular ions and are free of skeletal rearrangement fragments. The fragmentation patterns are dependent on the nature and position of substituents, and therefore mass spectrometry can be a useful aid to structure determination in this class of naturally occurring compounds.

E 92

Phenylpyridinium enol-betaines have mass spectra containing abundant molecular ions which decompose by loss of a hydrogen atom to give intense M- 1 species. Both ions eliminate CO and CHO units, and the courses of the various decompositions have been established by making use of deuterium labelling. The ion at m/e 92 in the spectrum of the parent compound is best described by an azatropylium structure.

Fragmentation Patterns

Abstract Fragmentation patterns on electron impact of 15 chlorinated aromatic fungicides were investigated. In most cases strong molecular ions were obtained and the peak clusters due to the 35Cl and 37Cl isotopes and the number of chlorine atoms in the molecule were highly characteristic. Many of the polychlorinated fungicides give ions (e.g., C6Cl4, C6Cl3, C6Cl2, C6Cl, and C6 (CN)2) whose structures can be best represented as acyclic polyunsaturated moieties.

The mass spectra of three desaurins and four related 3,5-bismethylene-1,2,4-trithiolanes have been interpreted with the aid of metastable peak assignments and accurate mass measurements. Strong molecular ion peaks are observed in the case of the aryl desaurins but not in that of their trithiolane counterparts. A variety of fragmentation pathways are postulated for the molecular ions, including cleavage on either side of a carbonyl group and elimination of a molecule of acylthioketene. In the case of the desaurins the latter process results in the formation of acylthioketene molecular ions, which could be distinguished from the doubly charged desaurin molecular ions. In the case of two of the trithiolanes, it is proposed that the ions resulting from loss of acylthioketene from the molecular ions undergo a novel type of McLafferty rearrangement and loss of carbon suboxysulfide to give aryl mercaptan molecular ions.

Fragmentation Patterns

The mass spectra of seven cyclic N-nitrosamines were examined for characteristic fragmentation patterns. Accurate mass measurements on three of the compounds indicated that the M-17 and M-30 peaks resulted from molecular ion losses of •OH and •NO respectively. The loss of • OH was rationalized in terms of a McLafferty-type rearrangement.
