Notes:
The dicyanomethylene derivative of a benzophenone analog significantly alters the fragmentation pattern observed during electron impact ionization of the underivatized parent compound. A double bond connecting the dicyanomethylene moiety to the parent compound is cleaved during a major fragmentation pathway for many of these compounds. A mechanism involving rearrangement of two hydrogen atoms is proposed to rationalize cleavage of this double bond. Conventional mass spectra as well as collisionally activated dissociation mass spectra of selected ions of several model compounds are reported and described in support of a proposed fragmentation mechanism.
