Abstract
The electron impact (EI) mass spectra of 34 differently substituted 2-phenoxymethyl-, 2-naphthyloxymethyl-, 2-pyridinyloxymethyl- and 2-chinolinyloxymethylquinoxalines were recorded. The fragmentation patterns were examined by metastable ion analysis and exact mass measurements, employing finally also selective deuterium labelling. The inclusion of the substituted aryl ring moiety appears to be important for the fragmentation of the aryloxymethylquinoxalines. A molecular ion rearrangement is proposed for the observed loss of OH* and CHO* radicals. The influence of the different substituents on the aryl ring moiety on the rearrangement in the gas phase and on the resulting fragmentation was investigated.
