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.

The negative-ion mass spectra of aromatic azoxy compounds, nitrones, and N-oxides exhibit pronounced molecular ions and simple fragmentation processes. No skeletal-rearrangement fragments are produced upon electron impact, in marked contrast to those exhibited in the positive-ion spectra of these compounds.

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 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 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 positive ion mass spectra of long-chain alcohols and acids are either devoid of molecular ions or contain such species in low abundance. The negative ion spectra of p-nitrophenyl esters of these compounds exhibit pronounced molecular anions, showing the technique to be a useful analytical method for these classes of compounds.

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.
