✦ Synopsis
The main fragmentation pathway of ionized hydroxyallenes (1) consists of a methyl loss. Extensive deuteriumlabelling experiments indicate that the terminal allenic carbon is implied in this fragmentation. Collisional activation spectra indicate a propenyl-acylium structure (a) for these [M -CHJ+ ions which can originate from a 1,6hydroxyl migration followed by hydrogen rearrangements. Isomeric hydroxyacetylenes (2) behave similarly, also giving rise, by methyl loss, to acylium ions u. It is proposed that 2" is irreversibly isomerized into 1+' by a 1,fhydrogen transfer 'catalysed' by the hydroxy group. The proposed internal proton-bound complex justifies also the easier loss of water from 2+'. Ethyl loss is also a prominent fragmentation for the hydroxyallene and hydroxyacetylene homologues. k Scheme 2

The fragmentation behaviour of 18 vicinally substituted aminonitropyridines was studied under electron impact conditions. The decomposition patterns were found to be strongly dependent on the position of substituents The formation of the am analogue of carbazole seems phenylamioopyridine.
The modes of fragmentation of perchlorylbenzene (C6H6C10s) and its perdeutero derivative under electron impact are reported and discussed. The occurrence of the [C,H,O]and [C,H,O]+ ions is accounted for in terms of a novel phenyl migration from chlorine to oxygen.
## Abstract Studies of both high and low resolution spectra, and of metastable decompositions occurring in both the first and second field‐free regions of the mass spectrometer have led to a postulated scheme for the fragmentation of acridine under electron‐impact. There is no specific loss of labe
