Zusammenfassung: | •Thermal behaviour of four anticancer imidazolidine-based hybrids was studied.•Thermal stability of compounds was connected with the type of the substituent.•Two-stage degradation of compounds took place in inert and oxidative conditions.•Simultaneous decomposition processes took place during their pyrolysis and combution.•Volatiles formed under their pyrolysis and combution by the FTIR/QMS were detected.
The course of pyrolysis and combustion processes of four diethyl (2E)-2-{(2E)-[1-(R-phenyl)imidazolidin-2-ylidene]hydrazinylidene}butanedioates which act as anticancer agents was studied using simultaneous thermal analysis method (TG/DSC) coupled online with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Quadrupole mass spectrometry (QMS) analyzers in helium and synthestic air atmospheres. It was found that the decomposition processes of the tested compounds in inert and oxidative conditions were complex and included some of the simultaneous reactions. The following decomposition reactions were observed: (i) pyrolysis of CO, CC and CN bonds, partial decarboxylation and dehydration (ii) further partial fragmentation and pyrolysis of CO, CC and CN bonds connected with decarboxylation and dehydration of intermediate products; (iii) simultaneous cracking of CN and partial pyrolysis of formed aromatic-rich residue and additional oxidation processes in air conditions; (iv) fragmentation and pyrolysis processes (in inert conditions) and additional combustion processes (in oxidative conditions) of fused aromatic rings in connection with some chemical reactions between the decomposition fragments. |
