Mass spectra of the three isomeric vinylimidazoles have been compared and the structures of the fragment ions [C 3 H 4 N 2 ] +· and [C 5 H 5 N 2 ] + have been investigated by collisionally activated dissociation mass spectrometry. The greater part of the non‐decomposing ions m / z 68 from 2‐vinylimidazole and from 2‐imidazolecarboxylic acid methyl ester, and a minor part of this ion formed from the free acid, all have the same structure: the imidazole ring system, with hydrogens at both nitrogen atoms but none at C(2). An analogous structure, with an ethyl group at C(2), is proposed for the m / z 93 ion from 2‐vinylimidazole.
