Mass spectra of new heterocycles: XIV. Investigation of 2-(alkyl- and propargylsulfanyl)-3-(ferrocenylmethoxy)pyrroles by electron ionization and laser desorption/ionization

Resumo

By mass spectrometry methods applying electron ionization (70 eV) and laser desorption/ionization (NALDI, MALDI) 1-(alkyl-, cycloalkyl-, vinyloxyethyl-, and aryl)substituted 2-(alkyl- and propargylsulfanyl)-3-(ferrocenylmethoxy)pyrroles were studied and characterized. At the electron ionization the peak of the molecular ion possesses very low intensity. The main fraction ions are the ferrocenylmethyl ion (the most abundant peak) and its decomposition ions. Under the NALDI conditions molecular ions and protonated molecules [M + H]⁺ are generated. The general fragmentation rules in the field-free region are determined. By an example of 1-phenyl derivative of pyrrole the MALDI procedure was also demonstrated to be suitable for investigation of 2-(alkylsulfanyl)-3-(ferrocenylmethoxy)pyrroles.
