The mass spectrometric fragmentation of 2a,4-disubstituted 2,2a,3,4-tetrahydro-2-phenoxy-1H-azeto[2,1-d][1,5]benzothiazepin-1-ones has been investigated using the aid of mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry. All compounds tend to eliminate a phenoxy, phenol, and phenoxyketene, respectively, from molecular ions. [M(+)-PhO] ions could also form [M(+)-PhOH] ions, which could further lose alkenes. [M(+)-PhOCH=C=O] ions could further yield 2-arylbenzothiazole ions and other fragment ions.
