ABSTRACT:

The electron impact, chemical ionization, fast-atom bombardment and collision-induced mass spectra of the semicarbazone derivatives of benzoin and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde are reported. Fragmentations of molecular and pseudomolecular ions are tabulated and rationalised.

Keywords: benzoin semicarbazone, 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde semicarbazone, electron impact, chemical ionization, fast-atom bombardment, collision-induced dissociation, molecular ion fragmentation
