โฆ Synopsis
The elimination of methanol is a ubiquitous process in the mass spectra of long chain hydroxy (l), alkoxy (1). branched (2, 3) and keto (1) acid methyl esters, which generally occurs from fragment ions formed by cleavage alpha to one of the above functional groups.

## Abstract The mass spectra of eighteen nโalkyl estars of pโmethoxybenzoic acid are examined. Few differences exist in the spectra of the corresponding para and meta isomers. We describe a new rearrangement, loss of OH from the molecular ion, whichis observed only in the para substituted isomkers.
