Thermochemical determination of the structure of negative ions with the data from resonance electron capture spectrometry. 2. 5-Substituted 2-furancarboxylic acids and their esters

The energetics of isomerization and fragmentation of carboxylic acids and their esters from the furan series were investigated in conditions of resonance electron capture with the formation of negative ions. The enthalpies of formation of fragmentary negative ions were determined and the structure of some charged and neutral products of dissociation of these compounds was established. Schemes of the hydrogen and backbone rearrangements were proposed.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 9, pp. 2049–2054, September, 1991.
