The mass spectral fragmentation pathways of a series of phenylazoxypyridine-N-oxides have been studied under electron impact conditions using tandem mass spectrometry. Besides simple C—N cleavages, the azoxypyridine-N-oxides undergo deep-seated rearrangements directly from the molecular ion. In addition, the spectra are complicated by a purely chemical reduction of the N—O functionalities that occurs in the ion source prior to ionization.

The thermal decomposition of twenty-five cupric carboxylates was studied by mass spectrometry. In eleven cases volatile cuprous carboxylates (many of which have not been previously reported) were detected amongst the decomposition products. The cuprous carboxylates from acetic, propionic, n-butyric, isobutyric, difluoroacetic, trifluoroacetic, benzoic, p-fluorobenzoic, p-chlorobenzoic, o-chlorobenzoic, and pentafluorobenzoic acids were all found to be dimeric in the vapor phase. Two basically different fragmentation pathways can be proposed depending upon whether the copper salt is formed from an alkyl- or aryl-carboxylic acid. For the former, the spectra are dominated by even-electron fragment ions formed by initial loss of RCO2•from the molecular ion. For the latter, a parallel fragmentation pathway initiated by loss of CO2 from the molecular ion and migration of the aryl group to the metal is also present.

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.

A series of capsaicin analogues have been synthesised as probable tear gas compounds. These compounds were subjected to mass spectral studies under electron ionization (EI) for their total identification. The fragmentation patterns observed in ortho- and para-substituted compounds have been substantiated by performing isotope dilution experiments and daughter-ion scans using tandem mass spectrometry.
