The mass spectra of 11 quercetagetin derivatives are reported and discussed. The spectra are generally simple and amenable to analysis. 4 number of fragmentation processes have been substantiated by exact mass measurements, appropriate metastable ions, and deuterium labelling.

The mass spectra of some 2-cyclohexen-1-ones, tetralones, and indanones have been investigated. The characteristic fragmentation processes, substantiated by appropriate metastable peaks, exact mass measurements, and in some cases by deuterium labelling studies, greatly facilitate the determination of both the type of system and the position of substituents on that system.

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 4a-methyl-4,4a-dihydrophenanthren-2(3H)-one and closely related phenanthrenones have been studied. The suggested fragmentation processes, substantiated by high-resolution mass measurements and appropriate metastable peaks, are shown to be characteristic of compounds with the same hydro-oxo-phenanthrene chromophore. 2-Cinnamylidene-6-methyl-cyclohexanone possessing a similar chromophore is also shown to exhibit a comparable fragmentation pattern.

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.

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 mass spectra of anils with ortho-alkoxyl substituents in the aromatic ring derived from the aldehyde contain pronounced peaks prod- uced by C=N bond cleavage accompanied by one and/or two hydrogen transfers to the nitrogen-containing fragment. Deuterium-labelling studies show that the hydrogen atoms involved are those attached to the α-carbon (α to oxygen) of the alkoxyl group. The extent of the hydrogen rearrangements may be altered by the addition of further substituents to the aromatic rings.

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.

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.

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.
