Abstract
The mass spectra of cyclobutanol and three 2H labelled analogs have been studied. The losses of C2H4 and C2H5• from the molecular ion involve specific fragmentations. Only CH3• loss from the α-cleaved molecular ion2 clearly involves hydrogen atom scrambling; this fragmentation also proceeds by a specific mechanism involving C-2 and hydroxyl hydrogen atoms. Loss of water from the molecular ion involves all the hydrogen atoms but in a complex, non-random manner.Keywords
