Partial electron impact induced mass spectra are given of 3α-hydroxy-, 3β-hydroxy-, 3β-methoxy-, 3α-acetoxy- and 3β-acetoxy-4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-4a,6-cholestadienes, 3α,5α-epoxy-4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-5-cholestane, isomeric 4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-5-cholestene-3α(β),4aα(β)-diols, their 3-acetoxy derivatives and 3-methyl ethers. The fragmentation of the molecular ions of these substances involves the usual elimination of substituents (in the form of H2O, CH3OH, CH3COOH, CH2CO), but the most abundant and characteristic ions are products of the contraction of ring A (to a six- or five-membered one), accompanied by expulsion of a fragment containing the carbon atom C(4) with both methyls.

Fragmentation 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.

Partial Success

The mass spectra of two isomeric methoxyfuranocoumarins have been investigated using electron-impact ionisation. Unambiguous distinction between the two isomers is possible through a combination of conventional mass spectra with collision-induced dissociations of the molecular ions and of selected fragment ions. The fragmentation mechanisms of these and related molecular systems were investigated in an attempt to identify the fate of each oxygen atom under electron-impact conditions. To this end, 2-pyrone, benzpyrone (coumarin), benzofuran, and some of its structural isomers were synthesised and studied via metastable spectra, collisionally activated spectra, appearance potentials, and kinetic energy release. Only partial success was achieved in this investigation, but it was possible to write a mechanistic scheme consistent with the present findings and literature data. If valid, this scheme permits identification of two of the four oxygen atoms in the methoxyfuranocoumarins.

Water Elimination

Mass spectra of nine of the sixteen possible diastereoisomeric 7-hydroxytricyclo[7.3.0.02,6]dodecanes are reported. The spectra differ considerably in the extent of water elimination from molecular ions. The diastereoisomers which have conformationally flexible cis-anti-cis, cis-anti-trans and cis-syn-trans skeletons exhibit abundant (M-H2O)+. ions. Molecular ions of the rigid trans-anti-trans isomers lose water to a markedly smaller extent, the main fragmentation proceeding via a skeletal cleavage. Effects of conformational mobility are emphasized.

Fragmentation Patterns

Abstract Fragmentation patterns on electron impact of 15 chlorinated aromatic fungicides were investigated. In most cases strong molecular ions were obtained and the peak clusters due to the 35Cl and 37Cl isotopes and the number of chlorine atoms in the molecule were highly characteristic. Many of the polychlorinated fungicides give ions (e.g., C6Cl4, C6Cl3, C6Cl2, C6Cl, and C6 (CN)2) whose structures can be best represented as acyclic polyunsaturated moieties.

Abstract Electron impact mass spectra of 8 sodium alkyl and dialkyl dithiocarbamate salts are reported with the spectra of 2 dithiocarbamate zinc salts and N′,N′-dimetliyl-N,N-dimethylthiocarbamylsulfenamide. The investigated compounds all gave molecular ions, and generalized descriptions of their fragmentation behavior are presented.

The effect of the substituent in the position 3 on the epoxidation of some 4,4-dimethyl-A-homo-4a-cholestene derivatives was investigated. The stereochemistry of the epoxidation is affected mainly by sterical and conformational effects. The mass spectrometric behaviour of epoxides IV-XI, XV-XX, XXIII and XXIV and of 4a,5-unsaturated 3-ketones XXI and XXVI was also studied. The double-transannular cleavage represents a common and characteristic decomposition pathway of molecular ions of these compounds.
