Im. Khazi et al., MASS-SPECTRA OF SOME 1,3,4-THIADIAZOLE DERIVATIVES, Indian journal of chemistry. Sect. B: organic chemistry, including medical chemistry, 33(6), 1994, pp. 585-589
Mass spectral fragmentation of some 2-aryl-amino-5-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadia
zoles and 2-alkyl-6-arylimidazo[2,1-b]-2,3,4-thiadiazoles have been st
udied with the help of high resolution and metastable ion spectra. McL
afferty rearrangement involving the gamma-hydrogen transfer from the a
lkyl chain dominates the mass spectra of many of the compounds. Prefer
able cleavage of C-C bond between C-2 and C-3 of the alkyl chain is al
so observed.
