Mass Spectra of New Heterocycles. XVII. Main Fragmentation Routes of Molecular Ions of 4-Alkoxy-5-amino-3-methylthiophene-2-carbonitriles under Electron and Chemical Ionization

For the first time decomposition was investigated of 4-alkoxy-5-amino-3-methylthiophene-2-carbonitriles under the conditions of electronic (70 eV) and chemical (reagent gas methane) ionization. At the electronic ionization the compounds under study [except for 4-(1-ethoxyethoxy) and 4-(ferrocenylmethoxy) derivatives] form stable molecular ions that decompose mainly by the cleavage of an alkyl radical from the alkoxy-substituent. Further fragmentation of the arising ion [M–Alk]⁺ depends on the substituent nature in the amino group. In the mass spectrum of 4-(ferrocenylmethoxy)-substituted thiophene peaks of the ion [FcCH₂]⁺ and its fragmentation products prevail. In the mass spectra of chemical ionization predominant peaks belong to ions M^+·, [M + H]⁺ and [M + C₂H₅]⁺, and fragment ions are absent.     

Alkylation of 4,5-dihydro-1<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-imidazole-2-thiol with iodomethylsilanes and -siloxanes

The alkylation of 4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazole-2-thiol with 1-iodomethyl(dimethyl)phenylsilane, 1-(iodomethyl)-1,1,3,3,3-pentamethyldisiloxane, and 1,3-bis(iodomethyl)-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane involved iodine-catalyzed cleavage of the Si–C_sp ² and Si–O bonds with liberated (in situ) hydrogen iodide to afford 2-({[(4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolium-2-ylsulfanyl)methyl]-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxanylmethyl}sulfanyl)-4,5-dihydro-1H-imidazolium di- and tetraiodides.

Rh<Subscript>2</Subscript>(OAc)<Subscript>4</Subscript>-catalyzed reaction of 2-(2-carbonylvinyl)-3-phenyl-2<Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>-azirines with diazo esters

Rh₂(OAc)₄-catalyzed reaction of 2-(2-carbonylvinyl)-3-phenyl-2H-azirines with diazo esters proceeds through an intermediate generation of azirinium ylide suffering a nonstereoselective ring opening to form (3Z)- and (3E)-2-azahexa-1,3,5-trienes. The former depending on configuration of the C ⁵ =C ⁶ bond may undergo cyclization either in derivative of 2,3-dihydropyridine, or in pyrrolium ylide that isomerizes into a derivative of 1H-pyrrole. According to DFT calculation, the preferred formation of pyrroles at increasing volume of Z-substituent at the atom C ⁶ and of substituents at the atom C ¹ of 2-azahexatriene occurs due to the destabilization of more sterically loaded transition states of 1,6-cyclization.
