Abstract
Gas phase skeletal rearrangements of regioisomeric 3‐cyano‐2‐methoxy‐3a‐alkylfuro[2,3‐b]‐ and [3,2‐b]indoles were evidenced by product ions [M − 32]^+•^, consistent with loss of methanol, on electron ionization in their mass spectra. The rearranged products occurring in gas phase were demonstrated to have elemental composition and fragmentation properties identical to those of authentic samples of 2‐indolyl cyanomalonates. Isotopic labeling experiments support the formation mechanism of the [M − 32]^+•^ ion. Additional thermal gas‐phase reaction products were characterized by comparison with an authentic sample.

Further arguments are proposed to show that the 'size effect' observed in the competition between acleavages, as well as in the competition between losses of alkyl and alkane from aliphatic amines, can be interpreted as a 'rotational effect'.
