McLafferty rearrangement
From Wikidoc - Reading time: 2 min
The McLafferty rearrangement is a phenomenon observed in mass spectrometry. Usually, it is observed that a molecule containing a keto-group undergoes β-cleavage, with the gain of the γ-hydrogen atom. This rearrangement may take place by a radical or ionic mechanism.
