Abstract
Esters of alkoxypicolinic and alkoxynicotinic acids are reliably identified by means of their mass spectra and PMR spectra. While the alkoxypyridoyl cation in the case of the Β esters undergoes fragmentation only with the successive splitting out of an olefin via the McLafferty mechanism and then a CO molecule, these processes also take place in the reverse order in the case of the α esters. The principal characteristic fragment ions by means of which such compounds in liquid-crystal mixtures can be identified and quantitatively determined were established.
