Abstract
Mass spectra of several azonaphthols and related Schiff bases containing intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) are interpreted in respect of their keto-enol tautomerism. It is shown that in gas phase the enol-like tautomer strongly predominates. In the azodyes the existing IHB is very weak, while in the corresponding Schiff bases it is strong enough and determines the fragmentation pathway.
