ELECTRON IMPACT INDUCED ELIMINATIONS. III. ELIMINATION OF SO2vs.REMOTE GROUP INTERACTIONS IN ARYL ALLYL SULFONES, 1,4-BIS(ARYLSULFONYL)-2-BUTENES, 1-ARYLOXY-4-ARYLSULFONYL-2-BUTENES, AND 4-[(PHENYLSULFONYL)METHYL]-2H-1-BENZOPYRANS

Abstract
Aryl allyl sulfones, analogous to propynyl sulfones, undergo facile SO2 elimination under electron impact. However, the 2-butenyl-1,4-diaryl sulfones, analogous to the 2-butynyl-1,4-diaryl sulfones exhibit propensities of remote group interaction and extrusion of the C4H6 moiety separating the sulfone functions. Where such remote group interaction is structurally prevented, as in the 4-[(phenylsulfonyl)methyl]-2H-1-benzopyrans, SO2 extrusion is a major fragmentation pathway.
