Enol and Enethiol Occurrence for Some Ketones and Thioketones. Mass Spectrometry and Theoretical Calculations

Abstract: The mass spectra of ketones can provide valuable information with regards to keto-enol equilibria occurring in the gas phase. Mass spectra of selected ketones and thioketones have been analysed and specific fragmentation assignments have been done to characterised and weigh co-existing ket...
