description

The fragmentation under electron impact of thirteen 2-substituted-3-(5-isoxazolyl)-4(3H)-quinazolinones has been investigated with the aid of metastable ion detection and high resolution measurements. Molecular ions are always abundant and the main primary fragmentation route involves acetonitrile elimination through isoxazole ring opening. The other common processes, particularly those leading to the abundant [R-C8H4N2]+ ion (b or b'), as well as those due to the nature of the 2-substituent are reported and discussed.
