Abstract
The mass spectra of C‐alkylaziridines show that generally β‐cleavage is the most important fragmentation, although α‐cleavages also occur as do γ‐, and δ‐ and ϵ‐cleavages in appropriate examples. A surprising rearrangement of the β‐cleavage ions has been explained as the result of a four‐centre cyclization followed by fragmentation. Other decompositions occur via transannular cleavages with and without hydrogen transfer. α‐Cleavage appears to be the most important fragmentation of N‐alkylaziridines. N‐Phenylaziridine shows very marked 1,2‐phenyl‐migration before fragmentation.

## Abstract The mass spectra of 2‐nitrosophenols are independent of the insertion temperature, suggesting that the compounds either do not exhibit tautomerism in the vapour phase or that the enthalpy of isomerization is low. However, their fragmentation patterns suggest tautomerism in the molecular
