The mass spectral fragmentation of substituted tetrahydro-1,3,2-oxmphzapbosphorin-2-oxides occurs by the cleavage of ring bonds. The ions due to simple cleavage, single and double hydrogen migration, seem to be triggered by C-0 bond cleavage of the oxazaphosphorin ring. The variations in the relative abundance of ions arismg due to similar fragmentation modes have been found to depend on the nature of the substituent and the stability of the particular fragment. Tbe single hydrogen transfer process is supported by metastable ion and shift techniques.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
