Abstract
An analysis of the mass spectra of 1-diazo-3,4-epoxy-4-arylbutanones has shown that the molecular ions of these compounds lose a molecule of nitrogen and that the [M — N2]+ ions formed cyclize to form hydroxyfuran structures, whose further fragmentation determines the whole picture of the dissociative ionization of the compounds investigated under electron impact. The majority of the [M — N2]+ ions have the form of the cyclic intermediate formed in the first step of the cyclization process. It cannot, however, be ruled out that a certain portion of the [M — N2]+ ions are stabilized as a result of a Wolff rearrangement and do not cyclize at all.
