Abstract
Chemical ionization induced fragmentations (with 2-methylpropane as reagent gas) of 4-methyl- and 4,5-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane and 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane gave in each case two fragments, a hydrocarbon ion and metaboric acid. Propeae and thence metaboric acid are eliminated from 4,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane. The mechanisms of the fragmentations are discussed. Under the conditions used 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane and 2-phenyl-1,3,2-dioxaborinane do not fragment.
