✦ Synopsis


Formation of cyclic ions and bicyclic transition states in the mass spectral decomposition of substituted α,ω‐alkanediamines.

N‐Phenethyl‐N(4‐acetamidobutyl)‐p‐toluene‐sulfonamide (4) and its homologues were synthesized and the mass spectral behaviour investigated. After loss of a benzyl radical from the molecular ion two different fragmentation reactions are observed. The lower homologous members – namely compounds 1, 2 and 3 – lose ketene by formation of cyclic ions (Scheme 1). The higher homologues of this series of compounds (4, 5, 6) show a pronounced (to 18% ∑~50~) loss of p‐toluene sulfonic acid. This decomposition reaction proceeds presumably through a bicyclic transition state (Scheme 3).
