Conclusions
-
1.
The nature and mutual arrangement of the ring substitutents are the principal factors affecting the choice of fragmentation pattern in the breakdown of the trialkylcyclopentanes.
-
2.
Quantitative differences in the spectra of structural isomers and stereoisomers can be used for purposes of identification.
-
3.
The possibility that the fragmenting ion retain the mutual orientation of the substituents found in the parent molecule is discussed.
