Abstract
AbstractFragmentation pathways of isoxazole giving ions [C3H2ON]+, [C2H3N]+˙ and [C2H2N]+ are elucidated by means of metastable ion studies and thermodynamic properties. Rearrangement reactions are demonstrated to occur with H and HCO loss. Elimination of carbon monoxide leads to [C2H3N]+˙ ions whose reacting configuration is the same as for acetonitrile. All these results can be rationalized in terms of a prior isomerization of isoxazole involving ring opening and 1,2 H migration.
