The mass spectra of fifteen benzoquinones, variously substituted with methyl, hydroxyl, and methoxyl groups, are reported and discussed. The fragmentation patterns, which have been investigated in a number of cases by exact mass measurements and deuterium labelling, can be usefully correlated with the type of substituent and the nature of the substitution pattern.
