Carbonyl compounds mass spectra

Compound 37a showed the absence of an aldehydic proton and the singlet around 8.15 ppm was assigned to the ethylenic proton located p with respect to the electron-withdrawing cyano and ester groups. The benzofuranyl coumarins 38 exhibited the carbonyl-stretching band around 1690 cm in the IR spectra (Table 6). PMR data for 13 compounds are given in Table 2. The El mass spectrum of 36a showed a molecular ion peak at m/z 324 (41%). 

A systematic investigation of the free amino acids of the Leguminosae led to the isolation of a novel ninhydrin-positive compound from the leaves of Derris elliptica Benth. (Papilionidae) (93). This substance was analyzed as C6H,3N04 (microanalysis and high resolution mass spectrometry) and was shown to be an amino alcohol. The absence of a carbonyl in the 1R, the loss of 31 mass units in the mass spectrum, and a positive periodate cleavage reaction were best embodied into a dihydroxydihydroxymethylpyrrolidine structure. The relative simplicity of the NMR spectra (three peaks in the 13C spectrum four spin-system in the H spectrum) pointed out a symmetrical structure. Inasmuch as the material was optically active ([a]D 56.4, c = 7, H20), meso structures were ruled out, and the 2R, 3R, 4R, 5R relative configuration was retained (93). This structure (53) was further confirmed by an X-ray determination (94). 

Dioxo-3-isoparteine was isolated from Lupinus sericeus (143). The mass spectrum, with M+ at miz 262 and signals at miz 234 (M" — 28) and 206 (M+ - 56), is characteristic for 10- and 17-oxosparteines and successive splitting of two carbonyl groups. Oxidation of p-isosparteine (14) by potassium ferricyanide resulted in 10-oxosparteine (108) as well as 10,17-dioxo-p-isospar-teine (109) (Scheme 13). This confirmed the alkaloid structure. Although 109 was found as a natural compound it had already been synthesized by Bohlmann et al. (144). The problems of configuration and conformation of sparteine (6), a-isosparteine (7), and (3-isosparteine (14) were discussed (145). 

The mass spectra of binuclear cyclopentadienylmetal carbonyl derivatives of chromium and molybdenum provide useful indications of the relative strengths of the metal-metal bonds in various compound types. The mass spectrum of [C5H5Cr(CO)3]2 (S. M = Cr) exhibits no bimetallic ions but only monometallic ions such as CsHsC CO) (n = 3,... 

The center peak (28.986 minutes) is clearly a mixture of two compounds, as indicated by the shoulder in the total ion chromatogram, by the strong 85 and 91 ions in the mass spectrum, and the presence of two carbonyl bands in the IR. The individual compounds are most easily identified by spectrum subtraction in the IR, yielding resolved spectra of the overlapping components. The first is gamma-hexalactone and the second phenylacetaldehyde (Figure 7). 

The last alkaloid, compound L, named knightolamine (12), is closely related to (11) except for the lack of a carbonyl group in an acetyl ester and the presence of a benzoyloxy-group (1740 cm ) the parent ion (M+ 367 C HzsNOJ is cleaved to an ion of m/z 246 and a benzoyloxyl radical. The fragment of m/z 94 usually appears in the mass spectrum of those tropanes8 that have a hydroxy-group in the pyrrolidine moiety.

McLafferty Rearrangement of Ketones and Aldehydes The mass spectrum of butyraldehyde (Figure 18-4) shows the peaks we expect at m/z 72 (molecular ion), m/z 57 (loss of a methyl group), and m/z 29 (loss of a propyl group). The peak at m/z 57 is from cleavage between the /3 and y carbons to give a resonance-stabilized carbocation. This is also a common fragmentation with carbonyl compounds like the other odd-numbered peaks, it results from loss of a radical. 

If you run the NMR spectrum of a simple carbonyl compound (for example, 1-phenyl-propan-1-one, propiophenone ) in D2O, the signal for protons next to the carbonyl group very slowly disappears. If the compound is isolated from the solution afterwards, the mass spectrum shows that those hydrogen atoms have been replaced by deuterium atoms there is a peak at (M + 1)+ or (M + 2)+ instead of at AT1-. To start with, the same keto-enol equilibrium is set up. 

Treatment of 2 with 3 equiv of 3-phenyl-2-propenal in refluxing toluene-cfe while the reaction progress was monitored by H NMR spectroscopy resulted in the disappearance of the aldehyde hydrogen peak (5 1.56). The IR spectrum of 4 shows a new absorption due to a vC-o stretch at 1448 cm 1. The mass spectrum of the product shows a molecular ion at m/z 538. To our surprise, an X-ray study of 4 showed it to be the insertion product of the two carbonyl ligands into the C-Si bond in 2. The reaction has the potential for developing a new method for double C-C bond formation between the carboranyl unit and carbonyl compounds. Such an insertion of the carbonyl functionality into the o-carborane has been observed in Yamamoto s work on the chemoselective addition of o-carborane to the aldehyde groups by a palladium-catalyzed9 or a fluoride-promoted reaction.10... 

A competitive elimination of carbonyl ligands and AsBr2 occurs from 15. Bromine atom loss is also observed but only after the elimination of 4 CO groups, i.e. from (M — 4CO) ions. The mass spectrum of this compound exhibits (M — 4CO — 2As — Br)" ions resulting from the migration of three Br atoms from As to Fe followed by the loss of an As atom and a Br atom ...
