Abstract: | Electron impact induced fragmentation of the title compounds obeys a route where the lactam moiety, OCNH, is cleaved first, with the accompanying formation of a cycloalkene ion. This can be verified by low-resolution, high-resolution, B/E and B2/E spectra as well as by collisional activation spectra of, for example, the ions m/z 82 and 67 from 7-azabicyclo4.2.0]octan-8-one and from cyclohexene. The only, and fairly weak, fragment ions including O and N are C3H3O]+, CkH2k-2N]+ (k = 5–8) and C3H6N]+. The ammonia chemical ionization spectra are also characteristic for all four lactams and show the same dominant ions in all cases, namely M + 1]+, M + 1 + NH3]+˙ and 2 M + 1]+˙. |
