It is shown that the γ‐ or 1,5‐hydrogen shift in the molecular ion of 1‐nitropropane leads to three primary fragmentation reactions. They are the loss of a hydroxyl radical, a molecule of ethylene and a molecule of nitric oxide. The structures and chemistry of the resulting ions have been investigated by a series of experiments including deuterium labelling, spontaneous and collisionally induced dissociations and accurate mass measurements.
