Gw. Fischer et al., TETRAZOLE COMPOUNDS .11. ELECTRON-IMPACT MASS-SPECTROMETRY OF -ARYL-5-(1-ACYL-2-DIALKYLAMINOVINYL)-1H-TETRAZOLES, Journal of heterocyclic chemistry, 33(3), 1996, pp. 815-823
The mass spectrometric behaviour of -aryl-5-(1-acyl-2-dialkylaminoviny
l)-1H-tetrazoles was studied, especially using yl-5-(1-benzoyl-2-dimet
hylaminovinyl)-1H-tetrazole 1 and its D-and N-15-labeled derivatives.
All tetrazoles investigated showed a clearly observable molecular ion
and underwent as the main fragmentation the elimination of nitrogen fo
llowed by a number of various subsequent processes. Besides, primary f
ragments such as [M-N-3(.)](+) and [M-ArN3](+.) were also observed.
