两类三组份反应产物：1,3-恶嗪及嘧啶-2-酮类化合物的质谱学行为研究

电喷雾质谱被应用于分辨2-氨基-1,3-恶嗪及六氢化-4-苯基-吡喃[2,3-d]嘧啶-2-酮的杂环结构。两类化合物均为三组份反应的产物,且其杂环的结构很难用NMR判断。实验首次系统研究了两类化合物的质谱学行为（包括氘代实验和高分辨质谱研究）,发现前者在CID实验中丢失CH2N2和HCNO,而后者为直接丢失尿素。这些特征丢失为该类衍生物的结构判断,尤其是高通量的合成产物分析提供了重要的依据。     

Mass spectrometric intramolecular cyclization reactions of some 2-N-phenyliminoperhydro-1,3-oxazines

Mass spectrometric fragmentation of four monocyclic and eight condensed skeleton 2-N-phenyliminoper-hydro-1,3-oxazine derivatives have been characterized by metastable ion analysis, collision induced dissociation measurements, exact mass measurements and ion structural studies. Extensive rearrangement reactions, best characterized in terms of intramolecular cyclizations, took place. Namely, when R = H the N-cyclization was almost exclusive whereas in cases where R > H steric reasons rendered the O-cyclization more feasible. Part of the fragmentation of the R = H compounds seemed to occur via the amino form. On the other hand the methane chemical ionization spectra of cis- and trans-anellated 5,6-trimethylene-2-N-phenyliminoperhydro-1,3-oxazines proved that at least some imino structure was present in the gas phase.     

Characterization of N‐methylated amino acids by GC‐MS after ethyl chloroformate derivatization

Methylation is an essential metabolic process in the biological systems, and it is significant for several biological reactions in living organisms. Methylated compounds are known to be involved in most of the bodily functions, and some of them serve as biomarkers. Theoretically, all α‐amino acids can be methylated, and it is possible to encounter them in most animal/plant samples. But the analytical data, especially the mass spectral data, are available only for a few of the methylated amino acids. Thus, it is essential to generate mass spectral data and to develop mass spectrometry methods for the identification of all possible methylated amino acids for future metabolomic studies. In this study, all N‐methyl and N,N‐dimethyl amino acids were synthesized by the methylation of α‐amino acids and characterized by a GC‐MS method. The methylated amino acids were derivatized with ethyl chloroformate and analyzed by GC‐MS under EI and methane/CI conditions. The EI mass spectra of ethyl chloroformate derivatives of N‐methyl ( 1–18 ) and N,N‐dimethyl amino acids ( 19–35 ) showed abundant [M‐COOC₂H₅]⁺ ions. The fragment ions due to loss of C₂H₄, CO₂, (CO₂ + C₂H₄) from [M‐COOC₂H₅]⁺ were of structure indicative for 1–18 . The EI spectra of 19–35 showed less number of fragment ions when compared with those of 1–18 . The side chain group (R) caused specific fragment ions characteristic to its structure. The methane/CI spectra of the studied compounds showed [M + H]⁺ ions to substantiate their molecular weights. The detected EI fragment ions were characteristic of the structure that made easy identification of the studied compounds, including isomeric/isobaric compounds. Fragmentation patterns of the studied compounds ( 1–35 ) were confirmed by high‐resolution mass spectra data and further substantiated by the data obtained from ¹³C₂‐labeled glycines and N‐ethoxycarbonyl methoxy esters. The method was applied to human plasma samples for the identification of amino acids and methylated amino acids. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

1H and 13C chemical shifts for acridines: Part XVIII. 9‐Chloroacridine and 9‐(N‐allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives

The¹H and ¹³C NMR resonances for acridine derivatives 9‐substituted with chloro, allylamino and propargylamino groups were completely assigned using a concerted application of gs‐COSY, gs‐HMQC and gs‐HMBC experiments. 9‐(N‐Allyl)‐ and 9‐(N‐propargyl)acridinamine derivatives present amino–imino tautomerism including a large broadening of ¹H and ¹³C NMR signals at room temperature. To obtain suitable resolution, therefore, these latter compounds were studied at 370 K in DMSO‐d6 solutions and showed a complete shift towards the imino tautomers.

Synthesis and 1H and 13C NMR structural analysis of cis‐ and trans‐2‐imino‐1,3‐ and ‐3,1‐perhydrobenzoxazines and their 3‐ and 1‐N‐methyl derivatives

cis‐ and trans‐2‐imino‐1,3‐ and ‐3,1‐perhydrobenzoxazines and the N‐methyl derivatives of the latter were synthesized from the corresponding cyclic 1,3‐amino alcohol with cyanogen bromide. The configurations of the studied compounds were confirmed by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. All trans‐fused compounds exist in biased chair–chair conformations as expected, whereas the cis‐fused 1,3‐benzoxazines attain exclusively the O‐in conformations. The cis‐fused 3,1‐benzoxazines, especially the 1‐methyl‐substituted derivatives, tend to favor the N‐out form, obviously owing to the favorable axial orientation of this N‐methyl.

N-phosphoryl amino acids and peptides. Part II: Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of N-di-isopropyloxyphosphoryl and N-dibutyloxyphosphoryl amino acids

The positive ion fast atom bombardment mass spectra of N-di-isopropyloxyphosphoryl (Dipp) and N-dibutyloxyphosphoryl (Dbp) amino acids or amino acid methyl esters are presented; and according to the observation of the metastable ions and the high-resolution accurate mass measurement their fragmentation patterns are postulated. Both types of compounds were found to undergo similar fragmentations to produce (HO)₂P(O)N?CH? R + H⁺, in most cases as the most abundant fragment ion of structural significance. An intrinsical difference between the two types of compounds is that N-Dippamino acids appear to favour the successive losses of two molecules of propylene, while the loss of HCOOH seems to be preferred by the Dbp amino acids. For those compounds containing an extra functional group on the side chain of amino acids such as serine or glutamic acid some other type of fragmentation was observed besides the normal phenomenon.     

A New Class of Organosuperbases,N‐Alkyl‐ and N‐Aryl‐1,3‐dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene Amines: Synthesis,Structure, pKBH+ Measurements,and Properties

A series of stable organosuperbases, N‐alkyl‐ and N‐aryl‐1,3‐dialkyl‐4,5‐dimethylimidazol‐2‐ylidene amines, were efficiently synthesized from N,N′‐dialkylthioureas and 3‐hydroxy‐2‐butanone and their basicities were measured in acetonitrile. The derivatives with tert‐alkyl groups on the imino nitrogen were found to be more basic than the tBu P₁ (pyrr) phosphazene base in acetonitrile. The origin of the high basicity of these compounds is discussed. In acetonitrile and in the gas phase, the basicity of the alkylimino derivatives depends on the size of the substituent at the imino group, which influences the degree of aromatization of the imidazole ring, as measured by ¹³C NMR chemical shifts or by the calculated ΔNICS(1) aromaticity parameters, as well as on solvation effects. If a wider range of imino‐substituents, including electron‐acceptor substituents, is treated in the analysis then the influence of aromatization is less predominant and the gas‐phase basicity becomes more dependent on the field‐inductive effect, polarizability, and resonance effects of the substituent.     

Synthesis of Some Novel 4‐(Furan‐2‐yl)‐5,6‐dimethylpyridines

N‐2‐amino‐4‐(furan‐2‐yl)‐5,6‐dimethylnicotinonitrile ( 4 ) was utilized as key intermediate for the synthesis of some new, pyridopyrimidine, benzo[1,5][g]oxazocine, naphthoquinone, and isoindole derivatives. The structures of the newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H‐NMR, and mass spectral data.     

ESI‐MS/MS analysis of protonated N‐methyl amino acids and their immonium ions

Methylation is one of the important posttranslational modifications of biological systems. At the metabolite level, the methylation process is expected to convert bioactive compounds such as amino acids, fatty acids, lipids, sugars, and other organic acids into their methylated forms. A few of the methylated amino acids are identified and have been proved as potential biomarkers for several metabolic disorders by using mass spectrometry–based metabolomics workstation. As it is possible to encounter all the N‐methyl forms of the proteinogenic amino acids in plant/biological systems, it is essential to have analytical data of all N‐methyl amino acids for their detection and identification. In earlier studies, we have reported the ESI‐MS/MS data of all methylated proteinogenic amino acids, except that of mono‐N‐methyl amino acids. In this study, the N‐methyl amino acids of all the amino acids ( 1 ‐ 21 ; including one isomeric pair) were synthesized and characterized by ESI‐MS/MS, LC/MS/MS, and HRMS. These data could be useful for detection and identification of N‐methyl amino acids in biological systems for future metabolomics studies. The MS/MS spectra of [M + H]⁺ ions of most N‐methyl amino acids showed respective immonium ions by the loss of (H₂O, CO). The other most common product ions detected were [MH‐(NH₂CH₃]⁺, [MH‐(RH)]⁺ (where R = side chain group) ions, and the selective structure indicative product ions due to side chain and N‐methyl group. The isomeric/isobaric N‐methyl amino acids could easily be differentiated by their distinct MS/MS spectra. Further, the MS/MS of immonium ions inferred side chain structure and methyl group on α‐nitrogen of the N‐methyl amino acids.     

Characterization of N‐Boc/Fmoc/Z‐N′‐formyl‐gem‐diaminoalkyl derivatives using electrospray ionization multi‐stage mass spectrometry

N‐Boc/Fmoc/Z‐N′‐formyl‐gem‐diaminoalkyl derivatives, intermediates particularly useful in the synthesis of partially modified retro‐inverso peptides, have been characterized by both positive and negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) ion‐trap multi‐stage mass spectrometry (MSⁿ). The MS² collision induced dissociation (CID) spectra of the sodium adduct of the formamides derived from the corresponding N‐Fmoc/Z‐amino acids, dipeptide and tripeptide acids show the [M + Na‐NH₂CHO]⁺ ion, arising from the loss of formamide, as the base peak. Differently, the MS² CID spectra of [M + Na]⁺ ion of all the N‐Boc derivatives yield the abundant [M + Na‐C₄H₈]⁺ and [M + Na‐Boc + H]⁺ ions because of the loss of isobutylene and CO₂ from the Boc protecting function. Useful information on the type of amino acids and their sequence in the N‐protected dipeptidyl and tripeptidyl‐N′‐formamides is provided by MS² and subsequent MSⁿ experiments on the respective precursor ions. The negative ion ESI mass spectra of these oligomers show, in addition to [M‐H]^?, [M + HCOO]^? and [M + Cl]^? ions, the presence of in‐source CID fragment ions deriving from the involvement of the N‐protecting group. Furthermore, MSⁿ spectra of [M + Cl]^? ion of N‐protected dipeptide and tripeptide derivatives show characteristic fragmentations that are useful for determining the nature of the C‐terminal gem‐diamino residue. The present paper represents an initial attempt to study the ESI‐MS behavior of these important intermediates and lays the groundwork for structural‐based studies on more complex partially modified retro‐inverso peptides.

An amino–imino resonance study of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate

The contributions of the amino and imino resonance forms to the ground‐state structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridinium nitrate, C₆H₉N₂⁺·NO₃⁻, and the previously reported 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridinium nitrate [Yan, Fan, Bi, Zuo & Zhang (2012). Acta Cryst. E 68 , o2084], were studied using a combination of IR spectroscopy, X‐ray crystallography and density functional theory (DFT). The results show that the structures of 2‐amino‐4‐methylpyridine and 2‐amino‐5‐methylpyridine obtained upon protonation are best described as existing largely in the imino resonance forms.     

Mass spectrometry of 4N-pyrimidinyl amino acids

The electron impact mass spectra of N-(1H-2-oxo-4-pyrimidinyl) amino acids are discussed. It was established that thermal elimination of water took place prior to mass fragmentation of all these compounds with the formation of bicyclic structures. The fragmentation of bicyclic ions led to 1H-2-oxo-pyrimidinyl species.     

Massenspektrometrische Identifizierung und Synthese isomerer und homologer Spermidin- und Spermin-Derivate. 25. Mitteilung über das massenspektrometrische Verhalten von Stickstoffverbindungen. 161. Mitteilung über Alkaloide

Synthesis of isomeric and homologous spermidine and spermine derivatives and their identification by mass spectrometry. The structure of homologous and isomeric spermidines and spermines follows from mass-spectroscopical analysis of their peracetyl (see text, footnote 3) (Table 1) or tosyl-acetyl (Table 2) derivatives. In the case of the peracetyl compounds, triads of peaks are recorded which, according to the number of methylene groups between the nitrogen atoms, show mass numbers characteristic for each of the substances (Scheme 1, ions b , d , e and c ). On the basis of cyclic ions of type f (Scheme 2), occurring in the mass spectra of N-acetyl derivatives, tosylated on a secondary amino nitrogen atom, deductions can be drawn as to the number of methylene groups between neighbouring tosylated and acetylated nitrogen atoms in these compounds.     

GC‐MS of amaryllidaceous galanthamine‐type alkaloids

Galanthamine‐type alkaloids produced by plants of the Amaryllidaceae family are potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. One of them, galanthamine, has been marketed as a hydrobromide salt for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In the present work, gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometry (GC‐EIMS) fragmentation of 12 reference compounds isolated from various amaryllidaceous plants and identified by spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, high‐resolution MS (HRMS) and EIMS) was studied by tandem mass spectrometry (GC‐MS/MS) and accurate mass measurements (GC‐HRMS). The studied compounds showed good peak shape and efficient GC separation with a GC‐MS fragmentation pattern similar to that obtained by direct insertion probe. With the exception of galanthamine‐N‐oxide and N‐formylnorgalanthamine, the galanthamine‐type compounds showed abundant [M]^+. and [M‐H]⁺ ions. A typical fragmentation pattern was also observed, depending on the substituents of the skeleton. Based on the fragmentation pathways of reference compounds, three other galanthamine‐type alkaloids, including 3‐O‐(2′‐butenoyl)sanguinine, which possesses a previously unelucidated structure, were identified in Leucojum aestivum ssp. pulchelum, a species endemic to the Balearic islands. GC‐MS can be successfully applied to Amaryllidaceae plant samples in the routine screening for potentially new or known bioactive molecules, chemotaxonomy, biodiversity and identification of impurities in pharmaceutical substances.

Ortho effects in organic molecules on electron impact. 14—Concerted and stepwise ejections of SO2 and N2 from N-arylidene 2-nitrobenzenesulphenamides

Unexpected ortho interaction of the nitro group has been noticed during the mass spectral fragmentations of N-arylidene 2-nitrobenzenesulphenamides, where the molecular ions expel SO₂ and N₂ both in concerted and stepwise processes. Loss of a hydrogen or the substituent from this fragment leads to a very abundant ion in all the compounds studied. Based on chemical evidence and linked-scan studies, a 1,2-phenylenetropylium cation structure has been postulated for the [M–SO₂–N₂–H/substituent]⁺ ion.     

Electron impact ionization mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry of phenylalkylpyridazines

The mass spectrometric fragmentation behaviour of pyridazine and four monosubstituted derivatives containing a pbenylalkyl side-chain (3- and 4-benizylpyridazine, 3- and 4-(2-pbenylethyl)pyridazine) was investigated. In the electron impact ionization mess spectra of the 3-substituted compounds abundant [M – H]⁺ peaks are observed. This allows a clear distinction between 3- and 4-substituted pyridazines, as the spectra of the latter isomers show only very weak [M – H]⁺ signals. The stability of [M – H]⁺ ions derived from 3-alkylpyridazines (deduced from only the very low abundance of further fragment ions) gives strong evidence for a cyclic structure of these ions. One fragmentation pathway typical of the parent pyridazine, the [M - N₂] fragmentation, was not detectable with any of the phenylalkylpyridazines investigated. Instead, loss of HCN, H₃CN⁺ and N²H⁺ was observed. An interesting fragmentation, observed with 3-(2-phenylethyl)pyridazine, is the loss of ⁺CH₃ from the molecular ion and also from the [M – H]⁺ ion.     

An Efficient Synthesis of Some Novel 3‐Cyano‐4‐imino‐2‐(methylthio)4H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidine and Their Derivatives

Pyrazolo pyrimido pyrimidine ( 4a–k ) was prepared by the reaction of compound 3‐cyano‐4‐imino‐2‐(methylthio)4H‐pyrido[1,2‐a]pyrimidine ( 3 ) with hydrazine hydrate, phenyl hydrazine, 2‐hydrazino benzothiazole, and 6‐substituted hydrazine benzothiazole in N,N‐dimethylformamide and anhydrous potassium carbonate. These synthesized compounds were characterized by elemental analysis IR, ¹H NMR, and mass spectral data.     

Electron ionization and electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study of a series of isomeric N‐chloro(or bromo)benzyl‐substituted (E)‐2′(3′‐ or 4′)‐hydroxy‐4‐stilbazole halides

The electron ionization (EI) mass spectra and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectra of a series of isomeric N‐chlorobenzyl‐ and N‐bromobenzyl‐substituted (E)‐2′(3′ or 4′)‐hydroxy‐4‐stilbazole chlorides and bromides (1–12) were recorded. The fragmentation pathways of all of the compounds and the characteristic fragment ions formed by EI‐MS were studied by means of B/E and B²/E constant linked‐scanning techniques. The formation of ions originating from preionization reactions, characteristic of quaternary halides under EI‐MS conditions, such as the elimination of chloro‐ or bromobenzyl halides, dehydrohalogenation or substitution reactions, is explained. As soft ionization methods cause no such degradation reactions, the ESI‐MS spectra of the studied compounds were also obtained for comparison. We thus demonstrated the applicability of EI‐MS even in cases when preionization takes place, as long as such secondary processes are properly accounted for.

Electron ionization mass spectral studies of bridgehead 7,7‐dimethylnorbornane‐based β‐amino alcohols

The electron ionization (EI) mass spectra of some new bridgehead 7,7‐dimethylnorbornane‐based β‐amino alcohols have been studied and their fragmentation patterns compared with those of isomeric 3,3‐dimethyl derivatives described by us previously. The dimethyl substitution at C7 results in a significant complication of the spectra, although all compounds show a C1–C2 bond cleavage with charge location at the nitrogen atom that leads to the base peak. Thus, two main fragmentation patterns dominated by cyclopentenylimmonium or methyleneimmonium ions are described depending on the position of the amino group in the norbornane framework (C1 or C2, respectively), as well as other secondary routes that can explain the appearance of the less noticeable fragments.

Synthesis and antioxidant activity of novel 15‐alkyl/aryl‐13, 17‐dihydro‐15λ5‐dibenzo [e,k] [1, 3, 7, 10, 2] dioxadiazaphosphacyclotridecin‐15‐selones/thiones/ones

A new class of phosphorus macrocycles were synthesized from 2‐[(E)‐2‐2 [(hydroxymethyl) phenyl] imino ethylidene) amino] phenyl methanol 1 with various phenylphosphorodichloridates, phenyldichlorophosphine, and ethyldichlorophosphite in the presence of triethylamine at 0–10°C under N₂ atmosphere in THF. All the title compounds were confirmed by analytical and spectral data (IR, ¹H‐, ¹³C‐, ³¹P‐NMR, and mass). The title compounds exhibited promising anti‐oxidant activity. J. Heterocyclic Chem., (2011).
