Mass Spectral Fragmentations. I. Mass Spectral Date on the Synthetic Intermediates Related to the Preparation of Linaloyl Oxide
This paper describes mass spectral data from synthetic
intermediates of linaloyl oxide. The fragmentation of sulfur functional groups including compounds l-8 would provide fruitful evidences for structural assignment of acyclic and alicyclic monoterpenoid precursors. Since, 1,3-dithianyl group in l,2, and 3 can provide a base peak and the elimination of the sulfinyl group from 7 and 8 is considered to occur at the initial stage of the fragmentation
Intermolecular-medium and intramolecular-weak hydrogen bonding chains in the crystals of chiral trifluoromethylated amino alcohols
A structural feature of hydrogen bonding chains found in the crystals of trifluoromethylated amino alcohols is reported. Hydrogen bondings of 3-(N,N-dialkylamino)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanols construct chiral spiral hydrogen bonding chains. Lone pairs on the nitrogen atoms of the amino alcohols participate in two hydrogen bondings. Detailed structural analysis of the hydrogen bonds of the 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)-1,1,1-trifluoro-2-propanol suggested that the chain built up with alternating intermolecular medium and intramolecular weak hydrogen bonds. The medium intermolecular hydrogen bond, which transfers a proton from the hydroxy group to the amino nitrogen, would make a tentative zwitterionic form of the molecule. Then, electrostatic attraction between the charges in the zwitterion centers induced a weak intramolecular hydrogen bond.</p
