title: [Application of high resolution mass spectra to the analysis of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides].
abstract: Acetophenone and its derivatives reacted on thionyl chloride to form an intermediate, which can react on the secondary aminnes to form alpha-carbonylthioformamides (1a-1f), followed by sulfurization with lawesson reagent to give target compounds alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides (2a-2f). Compounds 2a-2f are the deep-red or deep-green crystals because there are two thiocarbonyl groups in the molecule, and they can be used as far-infraed adsorbent dyes, laser-Q switch and organic conductors. Moreover, they are very important intermediates, can react on reagents with amino or diamino groups to produce a variety of acyclic or heterocyclic compounds, which can be used as pesticides and medicines. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for the analysis of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides (2a-2f). OA-TOF high resolution mass spectrometer is suitable to do this because of its small volume, high speed and giving elemental composition of ions. In this paper, the mass fragmentation pattern of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides was studied in detail using OA-TOF high resolution mass spectrometer of Micromass. The results showed that the molecular ions appeared, then, a neutral molecule S2 was lost easily from the molecular ion of alpha-thiocarbonylthioformamides, forming a particular ion M-S2 (base peak). This provides an effective method for the analysis of these compounds.
