One of the most intense peaks in the mass spectrum of N ‐allylaniline is at m / z 106 (97%). High resolution analysis and collision‐induced dissociation studies confirm that this peak contains mostly [C 7 H 8 N] + ions having the anilinomethene structure, but also a small contribution is seen from [C 8 H 10 ] + ions which result from the loss of the elements of HCN from molecular ions, following an Amino–Claisen rearrangement. The occurrence of a thermal rearrangement in the sample molecules cannot, however, be completely ruled out. Studies on metastable molecular ions of N ‐allylaniline and collision‐induced dissociation of the m / z 106 ions formed from these show that, in the case of molecular ions with energies closer to threshold, the rearrangement reaction competes much more effectively with the direct cleavage reaction.
