The mass spectral behavior of 1,6-bis(arylsulfenyl)-2,4-hexadiynes and 1,6-bis(arylsulfonyl)-2,4-hexadiynes were examined.The sulfenyl derivatives extruded the hexadiynyl moiety with the formation of Ar-S-S-Ar fragments.The sulfonyl derivatives, on the other hand, showed no extrusion of the hexadiyne fragment but an expulsion of SO2 and even two SO2 units.
