✦ Synopsis

High-level ab initio calculations at the G2(MP2,SVP) level have been used to characterize the potential energy surface for ethylene loss from various [C 9 H 11 ] ϩ ions. There is good agreement between the theoretical predictions and available experimental thermochemical data. We have characterized an alternative pathway to the phenylated cyclopropane mechanism originally proposed to explain the results of 13 C-labeling studies of ethylene elimination from [PhC(CH 3 ) 2 ] ϩ . This alternative mechanism is found to be consistent with experimental results of both 13 C-and deuterium-labeling experiments. We also examine the mechanism for ethylene loss and label exchange for several other isomeric [C 9 H 11 ] ϩ ions. It is found that the 13 C-label exchange observed in protonated allylbenzene and some of the deuterium-labeling results for other ions can be explained by the intervention of intermediate ion-neutral complexes. Comparisons are made with previous theoretical work on related [C 3 H 6 X] ϩ ions (X ϭ Ph, OH, SH and NH 2 ). (Int J Mass Spectrom 199 (2000) 29 -40) © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

In the electron impact mass spectra of N,N′-diaryl-1,3-phenylenediamines, recorded under conditions generating the molecular ion as a base peak, the most important step involve a β-aromatic cleavage with H rearrangement, leading to the expulsion of a neutral arylamine; this fact can be used in meta isomer identification since for the corresponding 1,2- and 1,4-isomers the expulsion of an aryl radical is a competitive process
