Abstract
A variety of substituted Phenylacetamides of piperidine and morpholine as potent mosquito repellents have been synthesized and their mass spectral fragmentation pattern under electron impact have been studied. All these amides follow a unique pattern in their mass spectra fragmentation and formation of the fragment ions depends on the substitution on both the phenyl ring and amines. These fragmentation patterns are useful for unambiguous identification of these amides during their GC MS analysis.
