… a five-membered ring rearrangement to form a phenoxide ion C6H5O-. When R = H, such a Smiles rearrangement is … an anilide anion (C6H5NH-, m/z 92) rather than a phenoxide ion (C6H5O-, m/z 93.0343). However, when the amino hydrogen … Smiles rearrangement does occur, leading to the phenoxide ion, as the negative charge can only reside on the oxygen …
