Abstract
A stereospecific ‘retro‐Diels‐Alder’ fragmentation followed by hydrogen migration was found in the mass spectra of imides and phenyl imides of decahydroindacene 4,5‐dicarboxylic acid. The fragmentation involves a one hydrogen atom rearrangement when the charge is retained on the diene moiety and double hydrogen rearrangement when the charge is on the dienophilic moiety.
