| Abstract: | The isomerization of M+ ˙ of o-carboxy- and o-carboxamidocyclopropylbenzenes into five- and six-membered heterocycles due to the ortho effect has been demonstrated by means of electron impact mass spectra, high-resolution mass spectrometry data and metastable ion spectra. The criteria for the quantitative estimation of the degree of cyclopropane cyclization into these isomeric cycles were formulated. The nature and quantity of heterocyclic ions proved to be in good accord with the results for cyclization of the same cyclopropanes in the strong acid solutions. |
