Major fragmentation pathways on electron impact of some aryl N-arylbenzimidates, Chapman rearrangement products, and acridones
Abstract
The gross fragmentation patterns under electron impact of some aryl N-arylbenzimidates, N-benzoyldiarylamines, and acridones are examined and compared with their thermal reactions. Evidence is adduced for a reverse Chapman rearrangement in the molecular ion of some N-benzoyldiarylamines.
