AbstractThe behaviour of some N‐pheny 1‐3, 6‐dihydro‐2H‐ 1, 2‐oxazines is examined under electron impact. These compounds undergo essentially two competitive reactions : 1) a thermal elimination of water which leads to the corresponding N‐phenylpyrrole, as it is proved by the comparison of the metastable ratios evaluated on the oxazine‐H2O⌉·+fragment ions and on the N‐phenylpyrrole itself; 2) a retro Diels Alder fragmentation giving the nitrosobenzene and the butadienyl system.
