Abstract
Intramolecular substitutions leading to cyclizations with the ejection of chlorine have been noticed during mass spectral fragmentation of 4-chloro-3-(N-aryliminomethyl) (2H) benzopyrans and benzothiopyrans. Very interesting ortho effects involving intramolecular substitutions have also been observed in 6-methyl-4-diloro-3-[N-(2-methoxyphenyliminomethyl)] (2H) benzopyran and 6-methyl-4-chloro-3-[N-(2-chlorophenyliminomethyl)]-(2H) benzopyran. The proposed fragmentation mechanisms have been supported by the accurate mass measurements and linked scan studies.
