The mass spectra of 2-and 4-substituted 1,3-~yclopentanediones are discussed. Methyl substituted compounds display mostly ring degradation, while for longer alkyl groups fragmentations in the side chain are responsible for most of the total ionization. As was found for other 1,3-diketones the spectra of 1,3-~yclopentanediones show typical and separate fragmentations for both diketoand enol-molecular ions.

Some fragmentations are supported by deuterium labelling. tuted isomers display identical spectra. This isomerisation is studied by metastable transitions, low energy spectra and deuterium labelling; a possible mechanism is advanced.The influence of alkyl substituents on the mass spectral behaviour of meIn the case of enol ethers of 1,3-~yclopentanediones the 4-or 5-substi-The mass spectral behaviour of acyclic 1,3-diones1 to 4, 1,3-~yclohexane-diones5 to and 1,3-cycl~pentanediones~ has already been discussed.

Abstract-The mass spectra of some 1,3-~yclopentanediones and 1,2,4-~ycIopentanetriones, related to compounds encountered in the chemistry of hops bitter constituents have been determined. Methyl substituted compounds mostly show ring degradation, while for longer alkyl groups and acyl groups, fragmentations in the side chain carry most of the total ionization. When both alkyl(>2C) and acyl substituents are present, fragmentations in the alkyl group always occur before those in the acyl side chain. The observed degradation processes are useful for the interpretation of the spectra of hop bitter acids and derived products.
Abstract-The mass spectra of the hops derived humulinic acids, isohumulones and hulupones are discussed. The fragmentations are in accordance with those found for model compounds.
