The mass spec tra of a se ries of N-aryl , -un sat u rated -lac tams were stud ied. Be sides the mo lec u lar ion, the three char ac ter is tic frag ments such as [M -82] were com monly found in a se ries of N-Aryl , -un sat u rated -lac tams in EI/MS. Fur ther more the mech a nism for the in ter pre ta tion of these fragments is also de scribed. IN TRO DUC TIONOnly a few meth ods for the syn the sis of N-aryl , -unsat u rated -lac tams, a key in ter me di ate for mitomycin, have been re ported in the lit er a ture.1 Un til the pres ent, only a lit tle at ten tion was paid to the EI-MS of these lac tams. 2 A de tailed de scrip tion of these char ac ter is tic fragmental be hav iors is still lack ing. Re cently we have de vel oped a new route for N-aryl , -un sat u rated -lac tams via the ring-closing metath e sis re ac tion. Herein we would like to re port and in ter pret these frag ments by a ra tio nal pro posed mech a nism. This re sult is ex pected to be use ful in for ma tion for fur ther iden ti fi ca tion of N-aryl , -un sat u rated -lac tams.
