A mass spectrometric study of several para-substituted benzylidenecyanoacet
amides was performed; thus, electron impact, chemical ionization and fast a
tom bombardment mass spectrometric studies for each molecule were acquired
and then compared in order to establish a general fragmentation pattern. In
(establish) particular the electron impact pathways were investigated and
confirmed by using constant B/E linked scans and high resolution data. Copy
