ABSTRACT:

Electron impact-induced mass spectral fragmentations of eighteen new hydrazones of o-, m– and p– hydroxybenzaldehydes and hydrazides of (E)-stilbenyloxyalkanocarboxylic acids, as well as N-(E)-stilbenyloxyalkylcarbonyl substituted amino acids, were investigated. Fragmentation pathways are proposed on the basis of accurate mass measurements and spectra from linked scans at constant B/E. The correlation between the intensities of M^+· and selected fragment ions of these compounds is discussed. The data obtained create a basis for distinguishing isomers.

Keywords: o-, m– and p-hydroxybenzaldehydes, amino acids, hydrazones, EIMS, stilbene, structural isomers
