Notes:
The mass spectrum of 1-(2-thienyl) hexane-1-13C is reported. The principal fragmentation routes ofthe parent ion are delineated. Beta cleavage of the alkyl chain predominates, and the label retention indicates that the alpha carbon atom remains with the charged ring moiety. A substantial part of the m/e 97 ion undergoes a ring expansion to a six membered ring. A small amount of alpha cleavage of the alkyl chain occurs with the expected loss of the label. Further fragmentation of the ions from initial alpha or beta cleavage produces similar fragment ions. It is noted that many of the neutral particles lost in the formation of the fragment ions are typical of those encountered in the alkylbenzenes or other aromatic ion systems.
