Abstract

Abstract: The mass spectrometry of alkyl vinyl ethers has been examined in detail because of some unusual mechanistic aspects. Important fragmentations of the molecular ion were triggered by hydrogen transfer and included loss of methyl radical and of ethanol. Both processes involved the interesting intermediacy of ionized 2-methylsubstituted cyclic ethers and single and triple hydrogen transfers, respectively. It was concluded that the important ...
