โฆ Synopsis
Fast atom bombardment mass spectral examination of molecules containing a 1,2-benzisothiazole ring, using a thiol reducing agent matrix, promotes reductive ring opening of the benzisothiazole ring, giving an [M+H] + two daltons higher than expected. Measurements using a non-reducing matrix produce the expected [M+H] + . This is a general phenomenon, observed with a number of molecules containing the benzisothiazole ring. The ring-opened structure has been confirmed by chemical synthesis and observed in metabolic studies.

German workers' have repcrted recently that the reaction of 3,4-dichlorc-1,2-bensisothiasole with sodium alkcxides or with secondary smines gives the expected nucleophilic substitution product, together with small amounts of material formed by fission of the isothiaeole ring.
Several 1,2,2-tris(sulfonyl)hydrazines, conceived as prodrugs of 1,2bis(sulfonyl)hydra~nes and synthesized as potential antineoplastic and trypanocidal drugs, were analyzed by m a s spectrometry as part of the confirmation of the structure of these compounds.
