利用红外光谱分析乙酸锌催化合成2,4-甲苯二氨基甲酸甲酯的反应机理

利用红外光谱技术研究了无水乙酸锌催化2,4-二氨基甲苯与碳酸二甲酯反应生成2,4-甲苯二氨基甲酸甲酯的甲氧基羰基化反应机理.结果表明,碳酸二甲酯羰基碳上的氧与无水乙酸锌中的Zn2+配位形成配合物,无水乙酸锌的结构由双齿型转变为单齿型,同时使DMC的羰基碳被活化.然后2,4-二氨基甲苯作为亲核试剂,其氨基进攻配合物中碳酸二甲酯上被活化的羰基碳原子,发生甲氧基羰基化反应,配合物中的Zn-O配位键断裂,生成2,4-甲苯二氨基甲酸甲酯和甲醇,并使无水乙酸锌的结构重新回到双齿型.     

Analyses of chlorogenic acids and related cinnamic acid derivatives from <Emphasis Type="Italic">Nicotiana tabacum</Emphasis>tissues with the aid of UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS based on the in-source collision-induced dissociation method

Background

Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) are a class of phytochemicals that are formed as esters between different derivatives of cinnamic acid and quinic acid molecules. In plants, accumulation of these compounds has been linked to several physiological responses against various stress factors; however, biochemical synthesis differs from one plant to another. Although structurally simple, the analysis of CGA molecules with modern analytical platforms poses an analytical challenge. The objective of the study was to perform a comparison of the CGA profiles and related derivatives from differentiated tobacco leaf tissues and undifferentiated cell suspension cultures.

Results

Using an UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS fingerprinting method based on the in-source collision induced dissociation (ISCID) approach, a total of 19 different metabolites with a cinnamic acid core moiety were identified. These metabolites were either present in both leaf tissue and cell suspension samples or in only one of the two plant systems. Profile differences point to underlying biochemical similarities or differences thereof.

Conclusion

Using this method, the regio- and geometric-isomer profiles of chlorogenic acids of the two tissue types of Nicotiana tabacum were achieved. The method was also shown to be applicable for the detection of other related molecules containing a cinnamic acid core.
