| Abstract |
In this article, dedicated to Professor Fred McLafferty, I wish to recollect early observations with regard to the rearrangement named after him for 1-nitropropane and the methyl ester of gamma-nitrobutyric acid. This rearrangement occurs for both cases clearly in a stepwise fashion, although for the ester, it occurs as a hidden rearrangement that catalyzes the tautomerization of the nitro group into its aci-form. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2023.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#1,227
of 3,834 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#20,967
of 59,041 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry
#5
of 18 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,834 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one is in the 45th percentile – i.e., 45% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 59,041 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 18 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 5th percentile – i.e., 5% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
