Phosphates d'enols. XII—Etude en Spectrometrie de Masse de Derives Diethyliques et di-n-Butyliques

The mass spectrometric fragmentations of diethyl phosphates (1) and di-n-butyl phosphates (2) are influenced by the nature of the substituents R, R′ and R″ fixed on the double bond When R = H, the loss of ethylene or 1-butene is mainly observed. When R = CH₃, the double rearrangement process occurs with alkyl group participation of the enolic chain.
