Popis: Electron ionization mass spectrometry was used for the structural characterization of substituted 2-thiazolin-4-one derivatives in the gas phase. The compounds follow common fragmentation pathways, producing ions whose abundances are dependent on the chemical nature of the substituent at position 2. Collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometric experiments, carried out on both molecular ions and fragment ions produced in the source, allowed the elucidation of gas-phase decompositions. The presence of tautomeric forms is suggested for some ionic species. Rapid identification of a primary or secondary amine moiety at position 2 of the thiazoline ring can be achieved by the detection of characteristic fragmentations occurring both in the ion source and under the collision-induced dissociation regime.
