Abstract

AbstractRing cleavage α to the oxygen function leads to [C3H5O]+ and [C4H7O]+ ions in the mass spectra of 4‐arylcyclohexanols and their methyl ethers, respectively. Cleavage α to the aryl group gives rise to [C3H7O]+ (from the alcohols), [C4H9O]+ (from the ethers) and [ArC3H4]+ (from both) ions. The competition between the two ring cleavages explains the effect of the substituents of the aryl groups on the relative abundances of the resulting ions.
