The mass spectra of the quinuclidine-2 (and -3)-ones and other functional derivatives of quinuclidine as well as 2-azaquinuclidine and benzoquinuclidine have been investigated. The fragmentation through the open form of the molecular ion and the applicability of Bredt's rule to amine fragmentation of the bridgehead nitrogen bicyclic systems are discussed.
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.
