ABSTRACT: | ||
Fragmentation patterns resulting from electron impact ionisation of hitherto unknown eight tri-substituted (N-alkyl, N-aryl, N'-heteroaryl) and two di-substituted (N-adamantyl, N'-heteroaryl) guanidines were studied. Some major fragment ions observed in the spectra were interpreted and fragmentation patterns involving expulsion of neutral N-alkyl carbodiimide from the molecular ion (in the case of tri-substituted guanidines) were proposed. No such expulsion (carbodiimide elimination) took place in the di-substituted guanidines. | ||
Keywords: Oxygen heterocyclic guanidines, tri-substituted guanidines, di-substituted guanidines, N-alkyl carbodiimide, carbodiimide,cyclic imidazolium cation, nitrene intermediate. |
