The loss of CH₃⋅ from some unsaturated dithioesters Journal Articles

abstract

• AbstractThe mechanism for the loss of CH3⋅ (and C2H5⋅) from the molecular ions of some unsaturated dithioesters of the type magnified image with n=0, 1, 2, has been studied. Based on first field free region metastable ion characteristics it is proposed that 1,3‐dithiolium type product ions are generated. Deuterium labelling experiments indicated that the molecular ions of the 2‐alkenyl alkanedithioates magnified image undergo a rearrangement prior to fragmentation which resembles the [3,3]sigmatropic rearrangement in solution chemistry.
