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.

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 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.

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 reactions leading to formation of the hydronium ion in the mass spectra of a number of alcohols and formate esters have been elucidated through a study of appearance potentials and metastable transitions and by the use of deuterium labelling. The results lead to ΔHf(H3O+) = 157 ± 3 kcal/mole corresponding to a proton affinity of the gaseous water molecule of 151 ± 3 kcal/mole.

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 mass spectra of 1-, 2-, and 6-methylspiro[2.4]hepta-1,3-diene have been measured and found to be very similar to the spectra of 7-methylcycloheptatriene and the isomeric alkyl benzenes. It is concluded that in all cases the major part of the fragmentation occurs by identical paths involving identical intermediates. This conclusion is supported by deuterium labelling and appearance potential data. On the other hand the mass spectrum of 2,5-dimethyl-1,5-hexadien-3-yne, an acyclic C8H10 isomer, shows a number of significant differences in its fragmentation pattern. These differences are reflected in the energetics of ion formation and it is concluded that in this case the fragmentation proceeds through different intermediates.

The spectra of arylsulphonyl derivatives of methyl acetates revealed a variety of skeletal rearrangement ions. The influence of the aryl substituent on simple fragmentation, rearrangement by carbon-oxygen bond formation, elimination of ketene after alkoxy migration to the ortho position of the ring and skeletal rearrangement by means of elimination of sulphur dioxide is discussed.

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.
