Acetone chemical ionization studies. VII‐acetylation of some aromatic compounds

Abstract: Acetone chemical ionization mass spectra of 14 monosubstituted aromatic compounds were studied. Benzene, toluene and halobenzenes give exclusively chargeexchange spectra with very little fragmentation. Protonation is characteristic of compounds with higher proton affinities than acetone, with the exception of benzonitrile. Acetylation reactions are observed mainly with benzonitrile, phenol, anisole and aniline. The acetylation of phenol and aniline mostly occurs at the substitutent.

“…It was of interest to investigate the reaction mechanism and site of attachment in detail using furan CI‐MS/MS, owing to the ambiguity of the adduct ion attachment being on the substituent or ring of aromatic compounds as in earlier reports 30–32. Extensive work carried out by Cooks and co‐workers30, 31 with regard to alkylation of phenol and aniline indicated that ring alkylation is more favorable in the case of phenol and substituent alkylation predominates in the case of aniline, whereas Vairamani reported that the acetylation of phenol and aniline mostly occurs at the substituents 32…”
