Fragmentation of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazoles upon electron impact

The mass spectrometric behaviour of 1-aryl-5-(2-dialkylaminovinyI)-lH-tetrazoles was studied, especially 1-phenyl-5-(2-dimethylaminovinyl)-l H-tetrazole as a typical example of D- and ¹⁵N-labelled derivatives revealed a rearrangement via a carbodiimide-like intermediate ion.     

Novel tris(5-aryl-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)methanes and 2-dichloromethyl-5-aryl-2H-tetrazoles and noncovalent interactions in their crystal structure

A series of tris(5-aryl-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)methanes ( 3a-3g ) and 2-dichloromethyl-5-aryl-2H-tetrazoles ( 4a-4d ) were synthesized by reaction of 5-aryl-NH-tetrazoles with trichloromethane in strong aqueous basic condition. The compounds obtained were fully characterized by means of HRESI-MS, ¹H and ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectroscopies, as well as by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (for 3a , 3b , 4d ). Inspection of the X-ray diffraction data and Hirshfeld surface analysis for tris(5-aryl-1H-tetrazol-1-yl)methanes 3a , b and 2-dichloromethyl-5-aryl-2H-tetrazole 4d showed the presence of noncovalent π-hole•••lone pair and π-hole•••π interactions involving electrophilic tetrazole carbon atom.     

Synthesis and proton-acceptor capacities of 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes and 1-(5-aryl-2-thienyl)-1propenones

A number of 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes and 1-(5-aryl-2-thienyl)-3-phenyl-1-propenones were synthesized, and it was shown by means of their IR spectra that the 1-propenones are trans isomers with respect to the orientation of the substituents attached to the double bond and have an s-cis conformation. According to the data from the IR spectra of the H complexes of the investigated compounds with phenol, 5-aryl-2-acetylthiophenes have higher proton-acceptor capacities than acetophenones, 2-acetylthiophenes, and 4-acetyldiphenyl; a similar picture is also noted in a number of 1-propenones and 3-propenones. The transmission factors () obtained by Hammett correlation of the _Oh values for 1,4-phenylene, 2,5-thienylene, and vinylene groupings are identical and are equal to 0.8. It is shown on the basis of a correlation with respect to an equation of the Yukawa-Zuno type that the thiophene ring transmits polar conjugation better than the benzene ring.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1196–1202, September, 1976.     

Electronic substituent effects in the electron impact mass spectrometry of 2-(arylazo)-4-phenylphenols

A mass spectrometric study of a set of six novel 2-(arylazo)-4-phenylphenols 1-6 was performed. The electron impact spectra were acquired and analyzed for five of the compounds in order to establish a fragmentation pattern. The suggested pathways were investigated and confirmed by means of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments together with high-resolution accurate mass data. However, the sixth molecule, a sodium sulfonate salt, was studied using fast atom bombardment (FAB) ionization in positive and negative modes. In addition, some electronic substituent effects were investigated by analyzing Hammett-McLafferty linear free energy correlations for some peaks derived from the corresponding molecular ions. Also, the role of the O-H...N hydrogen bond present in the target compounds was analyzed. The roles of these H-bonds were consistent with the corresponding acidity constant values obtained experimentally as well as by theoretical quantum chemistry calculations using HF/6-31 + G(d,p) and B3LYP/6-31G(d,p). Some spectrometric data were correlated with topological properties derived from the atoms-in-molecules (AIM) theory.     

Electron impact mass spectrometry of 2-(2-pyridyl)-2,3-dihydroxy-5-phenyl-4-pentene

The mass spectrometric behaviour of 2-(2-pyridyl)-2,3-dihydroxy-5-phenyl-4-pentene has been studied with the aid of B/E, B²/E linked scans, exact mass measurements, collisionally activated dissociation mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra, and labelling experiments. The primary loss of water is proved to involve both hydroxylic hydrogens, thus suggesting the formation of an epoxidic radical ion and the presence of extensive skeletal rearrangements.

Structure of 1(5)-aryl-3-phenyl-5(1)-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazanes

1,3-Diphenyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazane exists in its crystalline state (based on x-ray crystal structure data) in the E ^1,2 Z ^2,3 Z ^3,4-conformation, which is stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IMHB); the proton is localized on the nitrogen atom which is bound to the heterocycle. In chloroform solutions 1(5)-aryl-3-phenyl-5(1)-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazanes exist in the form of equilibrium mixtures of their chelate and open E ^1,2 Z ^2,3 Z ^3,4-forms, in which the first of these forms predominates. Based on their ¹³ C-NMR spectral data the tautomeric equilibrium involving these forms is shifted in favor of the benzothiazolylhydrazone form. The amount of tautomer containing the benzothiazolidene fragment structure increases in DMSO solution.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 9, pp. 1268–1274, September, 1991.     

Chemical ionization and electron impact mass spectrometry of some organophosphonate compounds

The application of gas chromatography chemical ionization mass spectrometry to the determination of a variety of alkyl alkylphosphonates, phosphonofluoridates, phosphonothiolates and an amidophosphorocyanidate is described. Comparison is made between the electron ionization and chemical ionization mass spectrometry of these compounds. Chemical ionization mass spectrometry is shown to enhance the capability for identification, especially when a limited sample is available. Results indicate that methane is highly useful for obtaining protonated molecular ions and association ions (formed by the transfer of a reactant ion to a sample molecule) as well as meaningful fragment ions. Ionizing ethylene and isobutane gives protonated molecular ions as base peaks for all of the compounds studied, including those where a lower abundance of the [MH]₊ ion is found via methane chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Ethylene is superior to isobutane on the basis of its effectiveness for serving as both a carrier and a reagent gas and gives better sensitivity. Although not an intrinsic part of this present study, analytical sensitivities in the subnanogram range were found.     

Tetrazole derivatives. 26. 2-Aryl-3-(p-dimethylaminophenyl)-5-phenyltetrazolium salts

Deeply colored tetrazolium salts were obtained by oxidation of triarylformazans containing a p-dimethylamino group in the N-phenyl substituent with bromine or nitrous acid.See [1] for communication 25.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 987–990, July, 1981.     

Structure of 1-aryl-3-alkyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazans

The isomeric and tautomeric structures of 1-aryl-3-alkyl-5-(2-benzothiazolyl)formazans in solutions were investigated by means of NMR, IR, and electronic spectroscopy. It is shown that the nature of the solvent and the alkyl substituent in the 3 position affects the ratio of the Z and E isomers relative to the C=N bond of the azohydrazone chain. An increase in the length of the alkyl substituent in the 3 position leads to preponderance of the Z isomer in solution, while branching stabilizes the Z configuration with an N²...HN⁵ intramolecular hydrogen bond (IMHB), regardless of the solvent. The nature of the solvent has a significant effect on the ratio of the amino and imino tautomeric forms of the E isomers. The benzothiazolylhydrazone form predominates in CHCl₃, while the tautomer with a benzothiazolidene fragment is the major form in DMSO.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 834–839, June, 1993.     

Greenish metal-lustrous organic crystals formed from 1-aryl-2-(2-thienyl)-5-(5-tricyanoethenyl-2-furyl)pyrroles

On the treatment of 1-aryl-2-(2-furyl)-5-(2-thienyl)pyrroles with tetracyanoethylene, 1-aryl-2-(2-thienyl)-5-(5-tricyanoethenyl-2-furyl)pyrroles were produced. These compounds formed crystals with greenish metallic luster. In their solid-state UV-vis-NIR diffuse reflection-absorption spectra, absorption band corresponding to metallic reflection spreads in the range of 550-900 nm. Furthermore, strong absorption appeared below 520-540 nm. This absorption results in the appearance of green color. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis revealed the crystal structure of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(2-thienyl)-5-(5-tricyanoethenyl-2-furyl)pyrrole (2c). The distinct features of the crystal structure are as follows: (1) the thiophene-pyrrole-furan-tricyanoethenyl π-system is approximately flat; (2) the conformational relation between the pyrrole ring and the furan ring is anti, that is, these rings are pointing in opposite directions and the dihedral angle of N-C-C-O=180°; (3) as a result, the tricyanoethenyl group is far from the 4-methoxyphenyl group; (4) the molecules of 2c are arranged in a ribbon structure; (5) the ribbons are assembled side-by-side to form a terraced layer; (6) the layers stack so that the π-orbitals of 2c become close to each other.
