β¦ Synopsis
High resolution mass measurement established that the m/e 425 peak in the mass spectrum of 1,3-bis-(3-m-tolyI-l,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)hexafluoropropane corresponds to [M -CHNO]. This peak is absent from the mass spectrum of thepara isomer.
ALTHOUGH the principal electron-impact fragmentations of the meta and para isomers of (I) closely resemble those of the fluorine-containing 1,2,4-oxadiazoles
reported previously,l the peak at m/e 425 [M -431 in the mass spectrum of the meta substituted compound is absent from that of its para isomer. High resolution mass measurement of m/e 425 showed that it corresponded to the loss of CHNO from the molecular-ion. A possible mechanism for the formation of the ion at m/e 425 is shown in Scheme 1. Presumably, in the case of the para isomer the methyl group is unfavourably situated to allow a similar transfer of a hydrogen atom.

The fragmentation behaviour of 3,4-disubstituted 1,2,4-oxadiazole-5(4H)-thiones under electron impact (EI) can be explained by postulating a predominant rearrangement to the corresponding 3,4-disubstituted 1,2,4-thiadiazole-5(4H)-ones before further fragmentation. This postulate is confirmed by a co
