A new ultra fast electron impact (El) ion source is presented that produces a very short, high intensity electron beam, allowing medium resolution mass spectra to be recorded without pulsing the ion accelerating voltages in a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF-MS). The ion source requires minimum modification of any TOF-MS equipped with an electrostatic ion reflector and UV-laser. El-spectra are presented for comparison with literature spectra.
This paper deals with the preparation of ethyl benzofuro[3,2-b]pyrrole-2-carboxylate, its hydrolysis, N-alkylation, and reduction. Also the synthesis of new heterocyclic systems, benzofuro[3,2-b]pyrrole and 2H-dihydrobenzofuro[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[1,2-d]-1,2,4-triazin-1-one, is described. The structure of 14 new substances was corroborated by IR, UV, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and electron impact mass spectra.
