Abstract
The fragmentation of compounds of the RN(CH2)nCHCOX (n=1–5) and RNCH2C(COX)2 type, where X=OAlk and NH2 and R=H, D, OAlk, and Cl, under electron impact was studied. When n=2–5, the chief fragmentation process is amine fragmentation, and the (M−COX)+ ion peak is the principal peak in the spectra at 30 and 12 eV. The fragmentation of three-membered heterocycles differs radically. The dominant fragmentation for 1-alkylaziridine-2-carboxylic and -2,2-dicarboxylic esters is splitting out of a radical from the ester group. This process is absent when R=H, D, C, and OAlk. Fragmentation with splitting out of the elements of alcohol for the esters and of ammonia for the amines is characteristic in the case of derivatives of 1-alkoxyaziridine-2-carboxylic and-2,2-dicarboxylic acids.
