Mass Spectra of 1,2-Dimethoxybenzene Derivatives

Abstract

Mass Spectra of a series of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene derivatives are measured with electron impact ionization, and their characteristic fragmentations are discussed. Analytically useful spectral features are indicated. In particular, 1,2-dimethoxybenzenes substituted with a long alkyl chain were found to display a fragmentation pathway different from those with a short alkyl chain.
