Rationale A number of synthetic cathinones (aminoketones, 'bath salts') are tertiary amines containing a cyclic amino group, most commonly pyrrolidine. These totally synthetic compounds can be prepared in a number of regioisomeric designer modifications and many of these can yield isomeric major fragment ions in electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI-MS). Methods A series of regioisomeric cyclic tertiary amines were prepared and evaluated in EI-MS and MS/MS product ion experiments. The cyclic amines azetidine, pyrrolidine, piperidine and azepane were incorporated into a series of aminoketones related to the cathinone derivative drug of abuse known as MDPV. Deuterium labeling in both the cyclic amine and alkyl side chain allowed for the confirmation of the structure for the major product ions formed from the EI-MS iminium cation base peaks. Results These iminium cation base peaks show characteristic product ion spectra which allow differentiation of the ring and side-chain portions of the structure. The small alkyl side chains favor ring fragmentation in the formation of the major product ions. The higher side-chain homologues appear to promote product ion formation by side-chain fragmentation. Both side-chain and ring fragmentation yield a mixture of product ions in the piperidine and azepane series. Conclusions Product ion fragmentation provides useful data for differentiation of cyclic tertiary amine iminium cations from cathinone derivative drugs of abuse. Regioisomeric iminium cations of equal mass yield characteristic product ions for the alkyl side-chain homologues of azetidine, pyrrolidine, piperidine and azepane cyclic amines.

We report a general, practical and scalable hydroacylation reaction of ethylene with aromatic carboxylic acids with the synergistic combination of nickel and photoredox catalysis. Under ambient temperature and pressure, feedstock chemicals such as ethylene can be converted into high-value-added aromatic ketones in moderate to good yields (up to 92%) with reaction time of 2-6 hours.

Natural deep eutectic solvents have emerged as alternative non-toxic, non-aqueous solvents for an increasing number of synthetic transformations. Remarkably, in some cases one (or more) components of the NaDES plays an active role in the reaction mechanism and directly participates as either a catalyst or a reagent in the reaction. In this paper, we tested several NaDESs in which one of the components is a carboxylic acid as a medium to perform the Nazarov cyclization of divinyl ketones to obtain cyclopentenones, a widespread motif in natural compounds. The reaction conditions were optimized and the scope was investigated on C-, O- A nd N-derived compounds. To assess the full sustainability of the proposed approach, the recyclability and scalability of the process were investigated, thus proving that multi-gram preparations are possible with complete recycling of the medium.
