Allium Chemistry: Microwave Spectroscopic Identification, Mechanism of Formation, Synthesis, and Reactions of (E,Z)-Propanethial S-Oxide, the Lachrymatory Factor of the Onion (Allium cepa)
摘要:
Flow pyrolysis of 2-methyl-2-propyl 1'-propenyl sulfoxide (9b) affords a 98:2 mixture of (Z)- and (E)-propanethial S-oxide ((Z)- and (E)-5b), both characterized by Fourier transform microwave (FT-MW) spectroscopy, Sulfines (Z)- and (E)-5b are also identified by FT-MW in chopped onion volatiles and by NMR spectroscopy in onion extracts. Similarly, flow pyrolysis of 2-methyl-2-propyl vinyl sulfoxide (9c) affords (Z)- and (E)-isomers of ethanethial S-oxide (5a), identified by FT-MW methods. Pyrolysis in the presence of D2O affords (Z)-5a-d(1) and (Z)-5a-d(2) from 99 and (Z)-5b-d(1) from 9b; (Z)-5b-d(1) is also produced when an onion is homogenized in D2O. Pyrolysis of 9c with ethyl propiolate gives ethyl (E)-3-(vinylsulfinyl)acrylate (10). Neat 59 at 100 degrees C gives acetaldehyde. On standing, 5b dimerizes to trans-3,3-diethyl-1,2-dithietane 1,1-dioxide (12a); Me(3)SiCH=S+-O- (5f) undergoes an analogous dimerization. Compound 5b shows moderate potency as an anticarcinogen in inducing the enzyme quinone reductase.

AbstractThe chemical ionization and electron impact mass spectra of some thiosulfinates, thiosulfonates and sulfinyl sulfones have been studied. The electron impact mass spectra of four of the six thiosulfonates show molecular ions of less than 1%. Inconclusive evidence was obtained for sulfenyl sulfinate type intermediates in the electron impact spectra of thiosulfonates. The electron impact spectra of thiosulfonates were similar to those of thiosulfonates. The chemical ionization (isobutane) mass spectra of thiosulfinates and thiosulfonates generally show protonated molecular ions [MH]+as base peaks and [MH+1]+and [MH+2]+peaks.
