The metastable peak intensity ratios for elimination of HNC vs DNC from the [M CO] + · ion of deuterium labelled analogues of formanilide show that the formyl hydrogen atom migrates to nitrogen prior to or during CO expulsion to form a [C 6 H 7 N] + · ion of aniline‐like structure. An examination of metastable peaks does not allow similar conclusions to be reached for methyl substituted formanilides. Low abundance [C 6 H 6 O] +· ions are formed by HNC elimination from the formanilide molecular ion in a reaction where three covalent bonds to the formyl carbon are broken.
