Mass spectrometric study of isatins III. Isatin and N-methylisatin ketals

In contrast to isatin and N-methylisatin, their ethylene-, propylene-, and 2,3-butyleneketals undergo fragmentation via several pathways. In addition to the principal fragmentation pathway — successive loss by the molecular ion (M⁺) of a CO group and a dioxolane ring or its fragment, the M⁺ ions of the ketals are also fragmented with elimination of a dioxolane fragment or the substituent attached to the nitrogen atom and, subsequently, a fragment of the dioxolane ring. The fragmentations of some of the fragment ions were investigated by means of the mass spectra of N-trideuteromethyl analogs.See [2] for communication II.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 642–645, May, 1977.

Mass spectrometric study of organocyclosiloxanes

Organocyclosiloxanes of various chemical structures were studied by mass spectrometry using different ionization methods. The electron ionization mass spectra contain no peaks of molecular ions, and the main fragment ions are formed due to complicated rearrangements in a molecular ion, which provides no comprehensive view about the molecular structure. The desorption spectra exhibit peaks of quasimolecular and fragment ions, which characterize both molecular weights and chemical structures of the compounds under study. Dedicated to Academician G. A. Abakumov on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 1746–1749, September, 2007.     

Porphyrins 34. Mass spectrometric study of ethane- and ethylene-bis-porphyrins

The mass spectral behavior of 1, 2-di (mesoetioporphyr inyl-1)- and 1, 2-di (mesooctaethylporphyrlnyl) ethanes and ethylenes, their Cu and Ni complexes, as well as Ni Schiff bases of 1, 2-di (mesooctaethylporphyrinyl)ethane complexes, under ionization by electron impact and bombardment by accelerated atoms, was studied. Peaks of molecular ions, for which the basic decomposition pathways were established on the basis of an analysis of the parent and daughter ions, were observed in the electron impact mass spectra of all these compounds.For Communication 29, see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 24–29, January, 1994.     

Mass spectrometric determination of cadmium in i.a.e.a. fish solubles

The cadmium content of the I.A.E.A Fish Solubles [A-6 (1975)] was determined by the isotope dilution method. After dry-ashing and dissolution of the specimen, the cadmium was equilibrated with a known amount of ¹⁰³Cd spike, isolated by ion exchange, purified by dithizone extraction, and converted to the sulfide form in 1% H₃PO₄ solution. The CdS precipitate was loaded onto a baked single rhenium filament for mass spectrometric analysis. The ¹⁰³Cd/¹¹⁰Cd ratio was measured to compute the cadmium content of 0.278 ± 0.032 ppm (dry weight basis) in the Fish Solubles.     

Mass spectrometric study of 2-azafluorenes

The fragmentation of 2-azafluorene and its methyl and phenyl-substituted derivatives was studied. It is shown that ejection of an RCN fragment (R=CH₃, C₆H₅) by the molecular ions leads to a more intense peak if R is in the 3 position of the azafluorene ring. It was established that, in contrast to the dissociative ionization of fluorene, all of the ions of which are formed from the (M-H)⁺ fragment, the fragmentation of 2-azafluorene and its derivative also takes place from the molecular ion. Randomization of the deuterium atoms attached to C₉ with the remaining hydrogen atoms was observed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotisiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 101–105, January, 1977.     

Mass spectrometric study of α-carbolines

A series of -carbolines were subjected to mass-spectrometric analysis. It is shown that these compounds are extremely stable with respect to electron impact. From 40 to 60% of the total ion current goes into the production of molecular ions during dissociative ionization. The mass spectra of these compounds are simple: the maximum peak corresponds to the molecular peak in the spectrum. The formation of the [M-1]⁺ ion and the detachment of a methyl group in monomethylcarbolines ([M-15]) are determined by the position of the methyl group. The mass-spectral fragmentation confirms the proposed scheme for the formation of -carbolines from arylhydrazones and 6-keto nitriles. A method for the synthesis of -carbolines on the basis of accessible arylsulfamidoindoles is proposed.Deceased.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1227–1234, September, 1980.     

Mass spectrometric study of 4-azafluorenes

The dissociative ionization of 4-azafluorene and its methyl and phenyl derivatives was investigated. The relative intensity of the [M — CH₃]⁺ ion peak depends on the position of the CH₃ group in the 4-azafluorene ring. It was established that the loss of an RCN particle (R=H, CH₃, and C₆H₅) for unsubstituted 4-azafluorene takes place from the M⁺ and [M — H]⁺ ion, exclusively from the [M — H]⁺ ion for the methyl-substituted compounds, and from the [M — H]⁺ and [H — 2H]⁺ fragments for the phenyl-substituted derivatives. Randomization of the deuterium ions in the 9,9-d₂-4-azafluorene molecular ion was observed.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 246–250, February, 1978.     

Mass spectrometric study of desoxyamino sugars

Conclusions The mass spectra of ten 3,4-didesoxy-3-amino sugars have been studied. A novel type of ring cleavage was detected in the molecular ions of these compounds, which had not been encountered in previously studied sugar derivatives.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, SSSR Seriya Khimcheskaya, No. 2, pp.437–439, February, 1970.     

Mass spectrometric study of monoalkyl-substituted thiacyclanes

Monosubstituted - and -alkylthiophans and -, -, and -alkylthiacyclohexanes were subjected to a comparative mass spectrometric study. The stability of the M⁺ ion increases on passing from - to -alkylthiophans and from - to - and -alkylthiacyclohexanes. In the case of -alkylthiophans and - and -alkylthia-cyclohexanes the principal process is associated with ejection of the substituent as a whole, whereas a portion of the alkyl substituent, with retention of one CH₂ group in the composition of the charged fragment, is eliminated from the molecular ions of -alkylthiophans and -alkylthiacyclohexanes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 176–181, February, 1978.
