The electron impact mass spectrometric fragmentation pathways for a series of 4‐aryl‐3,3‐di‐chlorooxetan‐2‐ones were investigated. It was found that cleavage to radical cations of dichloroketene and/or the substituted benzaldehyde is preferred by a large measure to cleavage to radical cations of carbon dioxide and/or the substituted β,β ‐dichlorostrene. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that the nature of the substituent has a significant influence on the localization of charge in the preferred direction of cleavage.
