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.

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.

Looking at the previous studies on quinazolinones derivatives, only limited information’s are available on their mass spectral along with the preparation of novel quinazolin-4-(3H)-one derivatives The condensation of Methyl-2-amino-4-Chlorobenzoate with acetic anhydride yielded the cyclic compound 2-methyl 7-Chloro-1, 3-benzo-oxazine-4-one (1) which further produce 3-Amino-2-Methyl 7-Chloro quinazolin-4(3H)-ones (2) via the reaction with hydrazine hydrate. The compounds synthesized were unequivocally confirmed by means of Infrared, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H and 13C), Gas Chromatography-Mass spectrophotometry and Elemental analysis. Discussion: The molecular ion of m/z 235 fragments to give m/z 220 by loss of –NH group. The ion of m/z 220 was broken to give m/z 206 by losing CH2 group and fragment to m/z 177 by loss of HCO. This fragmented to m/z 162 by loss of –CH3 group and then m/z 136 by loss of CN group. The loss of O gave m/z 120 which fragment to give m/z 93 by loss of –HCN and finally gave m/z 65 by loss of CO group. Conclusion: The electron impact ionization mass spectra of compound 2show a weak molecular ion peak and a base peak of m/z 235resulting from a cleavage fragmentation. Compound 2 give a characteristic fragmentation pattern. From the study of the mass spectra of compound 2, it was found that the molecular ion had fragmented to the m/z 220. The final fragmentation led to ion of m/z 93 and ion of mass m/z 65, respectively

11-Oxotetrahydrorhombifoline (I) has been isolated from the alkaloidal extract of the bark of Ormosia coutinhoi, and its dihydro derivative II has been prepared. An examination of the mass spectra of these compounds and of their 3,3-d2 derivatives has led to the elucidation of the course of the major electron impact induced fragmentations undergone by the molecules. The main fragmentation of I leads to loss of C3H5 from the side chain to form an ion of m/e 221, with a minor path involving a central fission of the molecular ion to form an ion of m/e 150. The mass spectrum of II shows that the loss of C3H7 to form the ion of m/e 221 is a minor process, the main fragmentation reaction involving a central fission to form an ion of m/e 152 analogous to the ion of m/e 150 from I. This change in the spectrum is shown to be consistent with predictions based on the quasi-equilibrium theory of mass spectra.

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.

Partial mass spectra of the following 4,4-dimethyl-A-homocholestane derivatives are given: 3,5-epoxides I and II, 3,5-diols III-VI, 3-methoxy-5-ols VII-IX, 3-acetoxy-5-ol X, 3,4a-diols XI-XIV, 3-acetoxy-4a-ols XV-XVIII and 4,4-[2H6]-dimethyl-3,4a-diol XIX, and their electron impact fragmentation investigated. The mass spectra of epoxides I and II, diols III-VI and acetate X are very similar. Considerable differences in mass spectra of methoxy derivatives VII-IX are explained by two mechanisms of elimination of CH3OH from M+. The same similarity of the fragmentation processes and the mass spectra is also observed in diols XI-XIV and acetates XV-XVIII. For the formation of the characteristic ion m/z 288 a fragmentation scheme containing an usual cleavage of the rings A, B, and C is proposed. On the basis of comparison with the mass spectrum of the 4,4-[2H6]dimethyl analogue XIX it was shown that the ion m/z 361 in the mass spectra of diols XI-XIV is formed by elimination of the neutral fragment C6H13 from A-ring of the molecular ion, the last process being accompanied by the 3-hydroxyl transfer from A-ring to the rest of the molecular ion.

The mass spectra of the monohydroxyquinolines, the monomethoxyquinolines, N-methyl-2-quinolone, and N-methyl-4-quinolone have been recorded. The isomeric hydroxy compounds vary somewhat in the stability of the molecular ion, but all show the same fragmentation mechanism. Two general fragmentation patterns are discernible in the spectrum of each of the monomethoxyquinolines, but there is considerable variation among the isomers in the extent to which the two patterns occur. In addition, 8-methoxyquinoline undergoes a peculiar fragmentation wherein all three methyl hydrogens are lost. The 3-methoxy compound is unusual in that loss of 43 mass units from the molecular ion occurs in one step. Deuterium- and 13C-labelling experiments have proved to be useful in interpreting the fragmentation pathways. The spectra of the two N-methylquinolones prove that O to N methyl rearrangement does not occur to any significant extent upon electron impact.

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.

A study has been made of the fragmentation upon electron impact of monomethylquinolines, di-methylquinolines, monoethylquinolines, and monopropylquinolines. Deuterium labelled analogues of some of the alkylquinolines have been prepared and their fragmentation studied to gain insight into the mechanism of fragmentation. The fragmentation of the alkylquinolines is closely analogous to that of alkylbenzenes. Rearrangement of the molecular ion appears to precede the fragmentation process in many of the compounds studied. The fragmentation of 2- and 8-ethyl- and n-propylquinolines are influenced by the proximity of their alkyl side chains to the nitrogen atom.
