In the mass spectra of carbomethoxyl derivatives of cyclopropylthiophene, intense ion peaks are observed, corresponding to successive elimination of MeO and COOMe radicals and the neutral fragments MeOH, HCOOMe, and CO from M/sup +./, so that the number of carbomethoxyl substituents in CPR can be determined. Mono- and gem-dicarbomethoxyl derivatives of cyclopropylthiophenes are characterized by rearrangements of M/sup +./ with migration of the MeO groups to the carbon atom adjacent to the thiophene ring. The presence of a methyl substituent at this carbon atom hinders this rearrangement. For the monocarbomethoxyl derivatives of cyclopropylthiophenes under electron impact, a splitting off of the methyl substituent of the ester groups is observed.
