ABSTRACT: | ||
Fragmentation patterns upon electron ionization of N-(2-nitrophenyl)-methane sulfonamide and selected N-alkyl-N-(2-nitrophenyl)-methane sulfonamides are described. It is observed that the molecular ions of the latter compounds undergo rearrangement reactions resulting in the loss of the molecule of an appropriate carbonyl compound. The molecular ion of N-(2-nitrophenyl)-methane sulfonamide also undergoes rearrangement reaction yielding a benzofurazane radical cation. Proposals for the appropriate "ortho-effect" based reaction mechanisms are given. | ||
Keywords: ortho-effect, fragmentation mechanisms,o-nitroaniline derivatives. |
