Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, Article, Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov’t, Journal of Organic Chemistry called Identification of the Aromatic Tertiary N-Oxide Functionality in Protonated Analytes via Ion/Molecule Reactions in Mass Spectrometers, Author is Duan, Penggao; Gillespie, Todd A.; Winger, Brian E.; Kenttamaa, Hilkka I., which mentions a compound: 1127-45-3, SMILESS is OC1=CC=CC2=CC=C[N+]([O-])=C12, Molecular C9H7NO2, Computed Properties of C9H7NO2.
A mass spectrometric method is presented for the rapid identification of compounds that contain the aromatic N-oxide functional group. This method utilizes a gas-phase ion/mol. reaction with 2-methoxypropene that yields a stable adduct for protonated aromatic tertiary N-oxides (and with one protonated nitrone) in different mass spectrometers. A variety of protonated analytes with O- or N-containing functional groups were examined to probe the selectivity of the reaction. Besides protonated aromatic tertiary N-oxides and one nitrone, only three protonated amines were found to form a stable adduct but very slowly. All the other protonated analytes, including aliphatic tertiary N-oxides, primary N-oxides, and secondary N-oxides, are unreactive toward or react predominantly by proton transfer with 2-methoxypropene.
Compound(1127-45-3)Computed Properties of C9H7NO2 received a lot of attention, and I have introduced some compounds in other articles, similar to this compound(8-Hydroxyquinoline 1-oxide), if you are interested, you can check out my other related articles.
