Abstract
Specific deuterium labelling revealed that podocarpan‐12α‐ and ‐14α‐01, representing conformationally well defined cyclohexanols, eliminate water mainly by stereospecific 1,3 reactions involving cis tertiary hydrogens on electron‐impact. Dehydration of podocarpan‐12ß‐0l, which also involves a cis tertiary hydrogen, occurs almost exclusively by a 1,4 reaction. Subsequent decomposition of the various [M – 18]^+^· ions was found to lead to different products, thus explaining some of the intensity differences encountered in the lower parts of the spectra of the epimeric podocarpan‐12‐ols and ‐14‐ols.

Electron impact induced fragmentation of some l-(6'-substituted-4'-methyl-2'-quinolyl)hylpyrazol-5-ols follows a route where the pyrazole moiety is preferentially cleaved with successive losses of two moieties of 41 u. High-resolution measurements have established that the first loss is due to the C
