CHEMOSELECTIVE MONOALKYLATION OF 5-TRIFLUOROACETAMIDO- AND 5-ACETAMIDO-1-PENTANOL DERIVATIVES VIA N,O-BISDEPROTONATION. QUANTITATION OF EVOLVED H2 AS A PROBE OF ANION FORMATION.

Measurements of H2 evolution revealed that neither 5-trifluoroacetamido-1-pentanol (1) nor 5-acetamido-1-pentanol (6) underwent complete bisdeprotonation upon treatment with excess NaH in THF, thereby accounting for the unexpected course of subsequent alkylations with carbohydrate-derived triflates 2 and 7.These studies in turn led to an effective protocol for generation of N,O-dianions from 1 and 6; as anticipated, the former chemoselectively furnished O-alkylation products with triflates 2 and 15.

Peter J Derrick and the Grand Scale ‘Magnificent Mass Machine’ mass spectrometer at Warwick

The value of the Grand Scale ‘Magnificent Mass Machine’ mass spectrometer in investigating the reactivity of ions in the gas phase is illustrated by a brief analysis of previously unpublished work on metastable ionised n-pentyl methyl ether, which loses predominantly methanol and an ethyl radical, with very minor contributions for elimination of ethane and water. Expulsion of an ethyl radical is interpreted in terms of isomerisation to ionised 3-pentyl methyl ether, via distonic ions and, possibly, an ion-neutral complex comprising ionised ethylcyclopropane and methanol. This explanation is consistent with the closely similar behaviour of the labelled analogues, C3H7CH2CD2OCH3 +. and C3H7CD2CH2OCH3 +., and is supported by the greater kinetic energy release associated with loss of ethane from ionised n-propyl methyl ether compared to that starting from directly generated ionised 3-pentyl methyl ether.
