One unsaturated and three branched long‐chain primary alcohols have been converted into N ‐alkyl‐2‐pyrrolidones for investigation by mass spectrometry. The EI. mass spectra of these derivatives have been found to exhibit unambiguously the branching points and, albeit less clearly, the position of a double bond in the chain.
