L. Ceraulo et al., Studies in organic mass spectrometry. Part 27. Electron ionisation inducedisomerisation of 3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones, RAP C MASS, 15(6), 2001, pp. 433-439
The comparison between 70 eV EI (electron ionisation) mass spectra, MIKE (m
ass analysed ion kinetic energy) and CID (collision induced dissociation) M
IKE spectra, KER (kinetic energy release) and KERD (kinetic energy release
distribution) data for 2-methyl-3-aryl-4(3H)-quinazolinones 1-4, with those
of the corresponding 2-methyl-4-aryloxyquinazolines 1'-4', indicates that
aryloxy radical as well as hydrogen or methyl radical losses involve the fo
rmation of common intermediates. This suggests the occurrence of migrations
of aryl groups from the N-3 atom to carboxylic oxygen in the molecular ion
s of 1-4. Copyright (C) 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
