Benzoxazolo carbocyanine compounds were synthesized by condensation of a suitable ortho-ester with an appropriately substituted 2-methylbenzoxazole in the presence of triethylamine. This compounds used as green sensitizing dyes in photographic emulsions. The compounds are characterized by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. The values(m/z) of structurally significant ions observed in FAB spectra. It was showed tentative fragmentation pattern in FAB spectroscopy of $HN(C_2H_5)_3$ cations in glycerol/trifluoroacetic acid matrix.
