β¦ Synopsis
The mechanisms of mass spectrometric fragmentation of eight new compounds, including methyl 5-methyl-2-oxo-3-[2-(4-R-phenyl)-1-ethyl]cyclopentanecarboxylates (Group I, R = substituent) and methyl 2-oxo-5-(4-R-phenyl)-3-propylcyclopentanecarboxylates (Group II, R = substituent), were studied using mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry. The chemical compositions of these compounds and some of their important fragment ions were verified by high-resolution MS data. There were two types of H-rearrangement as regards the route of fission. In one type, the Ξ³-H migration was influenced by both the electron effect and the steric hindrance of substituents, whereas on the other Ξ±-H migration losing methanol was due to the Ξ±-position active hydrogen located between two carbonyls, and this was verified by the method of deuterium labelling.

The title compounds were investigated to characterize their structure and fragmentation mechanisms by EI electron impact mass spectrometry (EI-MS) and collisionally activated decomposition. The results obtained on magnetic sector instruments show that the compounds fragment similarly whether the sub
