The mass spectra of twelve 13 C labeled compounds have been measured in order to investigate the fragmentation of the 1‐heptyl iodide molecular ion. A mechanism is proposed for each reaction leading to the ions containing the iodine atom. The loss of olefin from the heptyl ion derived from the 1‐heptyl iodide proceeds via extensive rearrangement of the linear ion. A non‐linear intermediate structure obtained via protonated substituted cyclopropane is suggested to explain the major fragmentation reactions of the heptyl ion.
