GAS-CHROMATOGRAPHIC AND GAS CHROMATOGRAPHIC-MASS SPECTROMETRIC CHARACTERIZATION OF SOME THIOSULFONATES AND POLYMETHYLENE DIMETHANE THIOSULFONATES

The characterisation by gas chromatography (GC) and GC-mass spectrometry (MS) of thiosulphonates of the types R1·SO2S·R2 (type I) and CH3·SO2S·(CH2)n S·SO2CH3 (type II) is described. Type I thiosulphonates showed suitable GC-MS properties as the intact molecules. Type II could be characterised by GC-MS only after reduction to the dithiol; direct probe spectra were necessary to characterise all the intact type II compounds by MS. © 1979.
