In collisional activation of argentinated N-arylmethyl-pyridin-2- ylmethanimine, a neutral molecule of AgNH2 is eliminated, carrying one hydrogen from the methylene and the other one from the ortho position (relative to the ipso carbon) of the aryl ring. Taking argentinated N-benzyl-pyridin-2-ylmethanimine for example, the proposition that the AgNH 2 loss results from intramolecular arylmethyl transfer combined with cyclodeamination is rationalized by deuterium labeling experiments, blocking experiments, and theoretical calculations. The structure of the final product ion from loss of AgNH2 was confirmed further by multistage mass spectrometry. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
