“…The replacement of gaseous H 2 S by ethane-1,2-dithiol or propane-1,3-dithiol in the above reaction allowed derivatization of carboxylic hydrazides to afford N-substituted 1,5,3-dithiazepanes and N-substituted 1,5,3-dithiazocanes in the presence of Cu complex catalysts. [11] Experimental High resolution mass spectra of compounds 1b, 2b, 2c and 4 ("dried droplet method") were recorded on a spectrometer "MALDI-TOF Autoflex III" (Bruker, Germany), with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as a matrix. Compounds 1c, 2a, 3a-c were analyzed by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry Synthesis of N,S-Macroheterocycles with N-Amide Substitutents from Aromatic Carboxylic Acid Hydrazides on a Shimadzu LCMS-2010 EV instrument of the Center of Collective Use "Chemistry" of the Institute of Organic Chemistry, Ufa Scientific Center of RAS; the temperature of the heating source was 200 °C, the temperature of the vaporizer was 250 °C; nitrogen that was produced by an NM18L ultra-high purity nitrogen generator was used as the nebulizing gas; the liquid flow rate was 0.05 mL·min -1 , the nebulizing gas flow rate was 1.5 mL·min…”
