The fragmentation of some 2-pyridones, 2-pyridthiones, and 2-alkylthiopyridines induced by electron impact
Abstract
The mass spectra of pyridine-2-thiol, some of its C-, N-, and S-alkyl, -phenyl, and -vinyl derivatives, and some related 2-pyridones have been measured. The principal fragmentation pathways have been elucidated with the aid of deuterium labelling.
