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 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.

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 15 aromatic azoxy compounds are reported and discussed. The spectra exhibit pronounced molecular ions, and fragmentation modes which are produced by both simple cleavage and complex skeletal reorganization processes.

Rearrangement Processes

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.

Competing Reactions

The mass spectra and fragmentation patterns of several tropolones and tropolone methyl ethers are reported. Deuteration studies confirmed that elimination of a formyl radical from 2-methoxytropone upon electron impact involves a specific rearrangement of the methoxyl group but sequential loss of carbon monoxide and a hydrogen radical from the ring are competing reactions. They also showed that in a dimethyl ether of anhydrosepedonin elimination of a formyl radical is completely suppressed. In the methyl ether of stipatatonic acid elimination of carbon monoxide is followed by expulsion of carbon dioxide with no loss of 29 mass units. The mass spectrum of [8-13C]-anhydrosepedonin as well as the energy spectrum for sepedonin have been investigated. These results not only provide a plausible account of the fragmentation of tropolones following electron impact but also illustrate the effect of product ion stability in determining which among a number of alternative modes of fragmentation will be more probable.

The negative-ion mass spectra of thioglycollic esters and S- alkylthioglycollic acids exhibit ions produced by simple cleavage and/or cleavage with hydrogen rearrangement. Similar spectra of arylsulphinylamines show pronounced molecular ions together with simple cleavage fragments. No skeletal-rearrangement fragments are present in the negative-ion spectra, in marked contrast with those observed in the corresponding positive-ion spectra.

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.
