PRoton abstraction from CH3SCH3 and C6H5SCH3 in the gas phase has been studied by the use of Fourier Transform Ion Cyclotrin Resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry.The gas phase acidity of CH3SCH3 is reported to be ΔG0acid = 1615 +/- 8 kJ/mol.The methyl group in C6H5SCH3 is observed to be the most acidic position.The gas phase acidity of this group is determined to be ΔG0acid = 1560 +/- 8 kj/mol.The structure and reactivity of the - ion from CH3SCH3 and C6H5SCH3 are probed by studyin their reactions with various molecules.Rate constants are reported for the reactions of CH3SCH2- -and several other nucleophiles - with CH3Cl, CH3Br, and HCO2CH3.
