Electron transfer induced decomposition in potassium-nitroimidazoles collisions: an experimental and theoretical work was written by Mendes, Monica;Garcia, Gustavo;Bacchus-Montabonel, Marie-Christine;Limao-Vieira, Paulo. And the article was included in International Journal of Molecular Sciences in 2019.Synthetic Route of C4H5N3O2 This article mentions the following:
Electron transfer induced decomposition mechanism of nitroimidazole and a selection of analog mols. in collisions with neutral potassium (K) atoms from 10 to 1000 eV have been thoroughly investigated. In this laboratory collision regime, the formation of neg. ions was time-of-flight mass analyzed and the fragmentation patterns and branching ratios have been obtained. The most abundant anions have been assigned to the parent mol. and the nitrogen oxide anion (NO2–) and the electron transfer mechanisms are comprehensively discussed. This work focuses on the anal. of all fragment anions produced and it is complementary of our recent work on selective hydrogen loss from the transient neg. ions produced in these collisions. Ab initio theor. calculations were performed for 4-nitroimidazole (4NI), 2-nitroimidazole (2NI), 1-methyl-4- (Me4NI) and 1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole (Me5NI), and imidazole (IMI) in the presence of a potassium atom and provided a strong basis for the assignment of the lowest unoccupied MOs accessed in the collision process. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methyl-4-nitroimidazole (cas: 3034-41-1Synthetic Route of C4H5N3O2).
1-Methyl-4-nitroimidazole (cas: 3034-41-1) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Many natural products, especially alkaloids, contain the imidazole ring. These imidazoles share the 1,3-C3N2 ring but feature varied substituents. Imidazole also acts as a microtubule destabilizing agents and inhibits topoisomerase and Cytochrome P450 Family 26 Subfamily A Member 1 (CYP26A1) enzymes.Synthetic Route of C4H5N3O2
