The molecular ion of N-benzylidene-2-nitrobenzenesulfenamide (1) loses SO2 and N2 and gives a base peak at m/z 165, C13H9, and another abundant peak at m/z 166, C13H10. Analysis, by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and by preparative thin-layer chromatography, of the products of flash vacuum pyrolysis at 500-800°C of (1) showed no detectable hydrocarbon, but dibenzothiophen (mol. wt 184) was isolated and identified. The abundance of m/z 184 in the positive-ion mass spectrum of (1) is about 1%. In the mass spectrum of 1-nitro-2-( phenylthio )benzene (2a) the base peak is at m/z 167, C12H9N, and there is a fragment ion at m/z 184, C12H8S (35%). However, carbazole (3) could not be isolated from the flash vacuum pyrolysis products, but dibenzothiophen (4) was obtained in increasing yield as the pyrolysis temperature was raised from 500 to 800°C. It is clear from these results that drawing analogies between electron impact mass spectra and flash vacuum pyrolysis results is somewhat hazardous.

The mass spectra of 1-phenyl-2-benzimidazolinethione (3) and 1-phenyl-2-benzimidazolinone (4) have been compared with their pyrolysis products and similarities have been found. In the 70 eV mass spectrum of 3, the base peak results from the loss of H•; at low ionizing voltages, this path and a competing path, loss of S, are the only ones which remain. At 650° in a stream of N2, 1-phenylbenzimidazole (8, 20%) formed from the loss of S and benzimidazo-[2,1-b]benzothiazole (5, 11%) formed by loss of H2. The major fragmentation paths in the mass spectrum of 4 are loss of CHO• and NCO•. At 950°, phenazine (6, 35%) formed by loss of CH2O, and carbazole (7, 14%) formed by loss of HNCO. In each pyrolysis, 65–70% of the starting material was recovered or accounted for.

Flash vacuum pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylenedioxy-7a-methyl-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-2H-inden-1(7aH)-one (2) at 630� gave a good yield of 2-ethenyl-4,4-ethylenedioxy-1-methylcyclohex-1-ene (6), but at 740� p-cresol was the major product. The diene acetal (6) was also obtained by pyrolysis of 5,5-ethylene- dioxy-lβ-hydroxy-7a-methyl-1,2,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-4H-indene-1α-carbonitrile (3) at 600�. Pyrolytic reactions of 7a-methyl-2,3,7,7a-tetrahydro-1H-indene-1,5(6H)-dione (1), 5,5-ethylenedithio-7a- methyl-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-1-one (7) and of 1,1-ethylenedioxy-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohex- 3-ene (8) are also described. Mild hydrolysis of the diene acetal (6) afforded 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-one (9) which upon brief treatment with dry hydrogen chloride in chloroform at 0� gave, after preparative thin-layer chromatography, a low yield of pure 3-ethenyl-4-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (11). The diene acetal (6) failed to undergo Diels-Alder reactions, even at high pressures with Lewis acid catalysts, and it reacted anomalously with two molecules of 4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione; the isomeric diene acetal 1-ethenyl-3,3-ethylenedioxy-6-methylcyclohex-1-ene (18) gave the expected Diels-Alder adduct with this reagent.

Abstract The electron impact mass spectrum of phencyclidine (PCP) was studied using both deuterium-labeled analogs and high-resolution mass spectroscopy. The deuterium-labeled compounds used were d5.PCP having 5 deuterium atoms on the phenyl ring, d10.PCP having 10 deuterium atoms on the cyclohexyl ring, and d15.PCP having deuterium atoms on both the phenyl and cyclohexyl rings. The identities of some major fragments and some possible pathways for their formation are shown. Electron impact mass spectroscopy is shown to be a definitive test for the identification of PCP.

An extract from a submersed culture of the mushroom Agrocybe aegerita (BRIG.) SING., containing antifungal antibiotic compounds was chromatographed on a silica gel column. Compounds from fractions which displayed the highest biological activity were concentrated and isolated by means of preparative thin-layer chromatography and preparative high-performance liquid chromatography, and were further characterized by means of gas chromatography, mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance. They are sesquiterpenic diols predominantly with an illudine skeleton. Structural formulae are proposed for some of them.

Electron impact mass spectra are reported for the hydrazones of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazolinone (1), of 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-chloro-3-methylbenzo-2-thiazolinones (2, 3, 4, and 5) and of 3-methyl-naphtho[2,1-d]-2-thiazolinone (6), as well as for 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole (7), for 4-, 5-, 6-, and 7-chloro-2-hydrazinobenzothiazoles (8, 9, 10, and 11) and for 2-hydrazinonaphtho[2,1-d]thiazole (12). The results obtained in the two series are compared. The 2-hydrazone and 3-methyl-benzo-2-thiazolinone and its derivatives all form a base peak corresponding to the molecular ion; fragmentation proceeds mainly by successive losses of·NH2, HCN, HCN, and then CS. Initial losses of N2H2, NH·, and NH3 are minor fragmentation routes.In the case of 2-hydrazinobenzothiazole and its derivatives, the base peak is still that of the molecular ion; however, the relative proportions of the various fragment ions vary with the position of sampling probe inside the apparatus. Thus it is concluded that the observed mass spectrum is that of a mixture of the possible hydrazone-hydrazine tautomers. The principal fragmentations involve the initial loss of NH3 (leading to a stabilized ion), of NH2· (probably from the hydrazone form), and of N2H2.(Journal Translation)

Flash vacuum pyrolysis (430�) of 5-benzylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan- 4,6-diones gives benzylidene-ketenes which dimerize to form 2,4- bis(benzylidene)cyclobutane 1,3-diones. Diphenylmethylene-,t- butylmethylene- and isopropylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4,6-diones similarly give the substituted methylene ketenes which dimerize to form 2,4-bis(diphenylmethylene)-, 2,4-bis(t-butylmethylene)- and 2,4- bis(isopropylidene)-cyclobutane-1,3-dione respectively. Infrared measurements on the pyrolysis products kept at liquid nitrogen temperature showed absorption near 2100 cm-1 which was attributed to the methyleneketenes. Reaction of the pyrolysates of ethylidene- and isobutylidene-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxan-4,6-diones with aniline vapour yielded but-3-enanilide and 4-methylpent-3-enanilide respectively.

In an unambiguous manner we have synthesized 1-chloro-2,6-dimethoxy-d3-naphthalene (5) and examined its electron impact mass spectrum. We report here calculations on the relative stabilities of 1-chloro and 5-chloro-6-methoxy-2-naphthols (4a and 4b) and on the relative stabilities of the O—CH3 bond in the 2 and 6 positions of compound 5.
