Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of acetates of partially methylated methyl glycosides. VII. Tri- and tetramethylheptoses

Nine tri- and five tetramethyl ethers have been obtained by the partial methylation of methyl - and -glucoheptopyranosides and methyl 2,3,4,6,7-penta-O-acetyl1-- and--glucoheptopyranosides. The retention indices of both types of methyl ethers on the liquid phase NPGS have been measured and the main directions of the fragmentation of these compounds under electron impact have been determined. The laws of the mass spectra of the position isomers that have been found will permit their use in GLC-MS analysis for determining the structure of a polysaccharide by the methylation method.Pacific Ocean Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, Far Eastern Scientific Center, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Vladivostok.

Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of acetates of partially methylated methyl glycosides. VII. Tri- and tetramethylheptoses

Nine tri- and five tetramethyl ethers have been obtained by the partial methylation of methyl α- and β-glucoheptopyranosides and methyl 2,3,4,6,7-penta-O-acetyl1-α- and-β-glucoheptopyranosides. The retention indices of both types of methyl ethers on the liquid phase NPGS have been measured and the main directions of the fragmentation of these compounds under electron impact have been determined. The laws of the mass spectra of the position isomers that have been found will permit their use in GLC-MS analysis for determining the structure of a polysaccharide by the methylation method.     

Gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry of acetates of partially methylated methyl glycosides. VII. Mono- and dimethylheptoses

The partial methylation of methyl β-glucoheptopyranoside has given a complex mixture of methyl ethers, from which five monomethyl ethers have been isolated by preparative GLC. Methylation of the latter gave a mixture in which ten dimethyl ethers were detected. The retention indices on the phase NPGS of the mono- and dimethyl ethers of methyl β-glucoheptopyranoside have been measured, and their mass spectra have been recorded and discussed. The mass spectra of these position isomers unambiguously characterize the pattern of methylation.     

Determination of phenols and chlorophenols as trimethylsilyl derivatives using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A rapid and simple method is described for the simultaneous determination of 6 phenols (phenol, o-, m-, p-cresol, catechol and resorcinol) and 19 chlorophenols (all mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrachlorophenol isomers and pentachlorophenol) present in aqueous samples. The method is based on derivatization with trimethylsilyl-N,N-dimethylcarbamate (TMSDMC). In contrast to other derivatization agents, TMSDMC instantaneously reacts with the phenolic compounds at room temperature and no further sample processing is necessary prior to instrumental analysis. The determination of the derivatives was performed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The stability of the most instable trimethylsilyl derivative (pentachlorophenol) was studied using different excess levels of the derivatization reagent. The derivatization method was tested on spiked water samples preconcentrated by solid phase extraction on Isolute ENV+ cartridge. The overall method gave detection limits of 0.01-0.25 microg/L for all compounds and < 0.05 microg/L for 17 of them.

Structural characterization of trimethylsilyl methyl glycosides derivatives by high-resolution mass spectrometry,linked scans and MIKE experiments

Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry investigations have been carried out for the structural analysis of trimethylsilyl methyl derivatives of keto-deoxy sugars and sialic acids studied under electron ionization. Fragmentation patterns were determined. The three derivatives undergo some common fragmentation pathways. Formation of fragment ions possessing cyclic resonance-stabilized structures was demonstrated. As the sialic acid derivative contained a N-acetyl substituent, some additional fragmentations occurred and were also elucidated. Thus, the mechanism of fragmentation was revealed for these derivatives and new findings concerning some series of fragment ions are presented. Presented at the Annual French National Symposium on Mass Spectrometry, Electrophoresis and Proteomics, 20–23 September 2007 in Pau, France.

For the detection of rare phospholipid, phosphatidylethanol (PEt), GC-MS analysis method was adopted for the detection of derivatization products of PEt by N,O-bis (trimethylsilyl) trifluroacetamide (BSTFA). A re-structured molecule derived from PEt, ethyl bis (trimethylsilyl)-phosphate was found from search of Wiley database. This molecule can be used as a marker for PEt analysis. The molecular formula was C8H23O4PSi2 and weight of the formula was 270.09.     

Quantification of trimethylsilyl derivatives of amino acid disease biomarkers in neonatal blood samples by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

A novel analytical procedure was developed for the rapid determination of disease biomarkers of maple syrup urine disease (MSUD),L-valine,L-leucine,L-isoleucine, andL-phenylalanine in dried blood spots. Amino acids extracted from neonatal dried blood spots were rapidly derivatized with bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) and then analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Derivatization conditions and the method validation were studied: optimal derivatization conditions were acetonitrile as reaction solvent, a temperature of 100°C, and a reaction time of 30 min. The proposed method provided a detection limit lower than 2.0 μM, recovery between 92% and 106%, and relative standard deviation less than 8.0%. The method was further tested in screening for neonatal MSUD by determination ofL-valine,L-leucineL-isoleucine, andL-phenylalanine in blood samples. The experimental results show that GC-MS following BSTFA derivatization is a rapid, simple, and sensitive method for the determination of amino acid disease biomarkers in blood samples, and is a potential tool for fast screening of MSUD.

Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of amino acid enantiomers as methyl chloroformate derivatives: application to space analysis

This work describes a GC-MS method for enantioselective separation of amino acids. The method is based on a derivatization reaction which employs a mixture of alkyl chloroformate-alcohol-pyridine, as reagents to obtain the N(O,S)-alkyl alkoxy carbonyl esters of amino acids. Various reaction parameters are investigated and optimized to achieve a reproducible derivatization procedure suitable for separation of amino acid enantiomers on Chirasil-L-Val chiral stationary phase. In particular, the following topics are investigated for 20 proteinogenic amino acids: (i) the proper reagent and reaction conditions to obtain the highest derivative yield; (ii) the amino acid reactivity and the MS properties of the obtained derivatives; (iii) the linearity and sensitivity of the analytical method; (iv) the retention behavior of the derivatives and their enantiomeric separation on the Chirasil-L-Val chiral stationary phase. By combining the resolution power of the Chirasil-L-Val column and the high selectivity of the SIM MS detection mode, the described procedure enables the enantiomeric separation and quantification of 16 enantiomeric pairs of amino acids. The procedure is simple and fast and reproducible. It displays a wide linearity range at ppb detection limits for quantitative determinations: these properties make this derivatization method a suitable candidate for amino acid GC-MS analysis on board of the spacecrafts in space exploration missions of solar system body environments.

Combined gas chromatography-mass spectrometry of the inositol trimethylsilyl ethers and acetate esters

Each of the inositol diastereomers have been subjected to low resolution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry as their hexa-O-trimethylsilyl (TMSi) ethers and as their hexaacetyl esters. The TMSi ethers of the inositols each possess a unique spectrum consisting of the same ions occurring with remarkable variation in intensity. This variation, which is much greater with the inositol TMSi ethers than in the spectra of the inositol acetates, is presumably an expression of the stereochemistry of each isomer exaggerated by the bulky TMSi groups. Using TMSi-d₉, labeling as well as ring labeling with deuterium we identified several fragment ions which are characteristic of the cyclitols. The spectra of the TMSi inositols are compared with the spectra of other TMSi carbohydrates. Two main series of fragmentation processes are observed in the inositol hexaacetates. With the aid of acetyl-d₃ labeling each of these series were found to divide into two more pathways consisting of ions of the same m/e values but of different structures. These pathways are compared with similar pathways observed in other acetyl carbohydrates. A method is described for the direct conversion of TMSi ethers to acetate esters which has potential usefulness in natural product studies.
