Aspects of mass spectra of organic compounds. Part II. Some 1,2-oxaza-ring systems
Abstract
The mass spectrometric behaviour of six-, seven-, and eight-membered rings containing the 1,2-oxaza-group has been examined. Deuterium labelling has been used to determine the mechanism by which the ion giving the base peak in the spectrum has been formed by a McLafferty type of rearrangement. The effect of ring size on the fragmentation pattern is considered.
