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 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 electron impact fragmentations of the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxyskatoles and the 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-hydroxyindole-3-carboxylic acids have been studied. The spectra of the four isomeric hydroxyskatoles are virtually indistinguishable, due to substituent randomization of the [M] and [M-1] ions. In the case of the hydroxyindole-3-carboxylic acids, loss of H2O from the molecular ion is characteristic of the 4-isomer but initial loss of •OH from the molecular ion is the most important reaction of the other three isomers.

Gibberellenic acid (2) reacted thermally in a modified immersion photochemical reactor, to give an intermediate triene (3). This triene then isomerized photochemically, via suprafacial [1,3]-hydrogen migration, to 9-epiallogibberic acid (5). On the other hand, comparison of the positive mass spectra of gibberellenic acid (2), allogibberic acid (4), and 9-epiallogibberic acid (5) showed that gibberellenic acid underwent electron impact fragmentation to the triene 3 cation. This cation then rearranged through suprafacial [1,3]-hydrogen migration to the 9-epiallogibberic acid (5) cation.

 Incorporating selenium metal bonded to the pyridine nucleus was achieved by the reaction of selenium metal with 2-chloropyridine carbonitrile 1 in the presence of sodium borohydride as reducing agent. The resulting non isolated selanyl sodium salt was subjected to react with various α-halogenated carbonyl compounds to afford the selenyl pyridine derivatives 3a-f  which compounds 3a-d underwent Thorpe-Ziegler cyclization to give 1-amino-2-substitutedselenolo[2,3-b]pyridine compounds 4a-d, while the other compounds 3e,f failed to be cyclized. Basic hydrolysis of amino selenolo[2,3-b]pyridine carboxylate 4a followed by decarboxylation furnished the corresponding amino selenolopyridine compound 6 which was used as a versatile precursor for synthesis of other heterocyclic compound 7-16. All the newly synthesized compounds were established by elemental and spectral analysis (IR, 1H NMR) in addition to mass spectra for some of them hoping these compounds afforded high biological activity.

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 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.
