Abstract

Proton transfer reactions and ion-molecule reactions of bifunctional ethanes of <TEX>$H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$</TEX>, <TEX>$H_2NCH_2CH_2OH$</TEX>, and <TEX>$HOCH_2CH_2OH$</TEX> were studied using Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS). The rate constants for proton transfer reactions between the fragment ions and neutral molecules were obtained from the temporal variation of the ion abundances. The rate constants were consistent with the heats of reaction. The fastest proton transfer reactions were the reactions of <TEX>$CH_2N^+$</TEX>, <TEX>$CHO^+$</TEX>, and <TEX>$CH_3O^+$</TEX> for <TEX>$H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$</TEX>, <TEX>$H_2NCH_2CH_2OH$</TEX>, and <TEX>$HOCH_2CH_2OH$</TEX>, respectively. The <TEX>$[M+13]^+$</TEX> ion was formed by the ion-molecule reaction between <TEX>$H_2C=NH_2 ^+$</TEX> or <TEX>$H_2C=OH^+$</TEX> and the neutral molecule. The major product ions generated from the ion-molecule reactions between the protonated molecule and neutral molecule were <TEX>$[2M+H]^+$</TEX>, <TEX>$[M+27]^+$</TEX>, and <TEX>$[M+15]^+$</TEX>.
