β¦ Synopsis
The electron impact mass spectra of disubstituted naphthalenes (chloronitro, acetylnitro, dihromo and dinitro derivatives) and of two naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydrides were studied under high resolution and by means of linked (B/E) scans. They all generate didehydronaphthalene radical cation, C,,H:', in most cases with a very high abundance, so that a convenient route to these interesting species is provided. These isomeric ions were all seen to lose the same fragments, namely C,H,,C2H4,C,H,,C4H,or C2H,+ C,H, . In three instances, mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometric (MIKES) and collisional activation/MIKES experiments were carried out and no differences in fragmentation behaviour were detected. Hence these isomeric C, ,Hb' ions achieve some common structure either before or during the fragmentation.

## Abstract The 70 eV electron impact mass spectra of six 2βaminooxazoles are discussed in detail with the aid of exact mass measurements, metastable ion detection in the defocused mode and labelling experiments. The fragmentation is markedly influenced by strong electron donating substituents at t
