We have already shown that the in-vacuum gas-phase Meerwein reaction of (thio)acylium ions is general in nature and useful for class-selective screening of cyclic (thio)epoxides. Herein we report that this gas-phase reaction can also be performed efficiently at atmospheric pressure under both electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) conditions. This alternative expands the range of molecules that can be reacted by gas-phase Meerwein reaction. Phenyl epoxide, thiirane, 3-methoxy-2,2-dimethyloxirane, propylene oxide, 2,2'-bioxirane, trans-1,3-diphenyl-2,3-epoxypropan-1-one, epichloridrine and propylene oxide are shown to react efficiently in both ESI and APCI conditions. Tetramethylurea (TMU) and (thio)TMU were both used as dopants, being co-injected with either toluene, acetonitrile or methanol solutions of the (thio)epoxides, with similar results. In both ESI and APCI, (thio)TMU is protonated preferentially, and these labile species dissociate promptly to yield (CH3)2N-C+=O and (CH3)2NCS+, which are the least acidic and most reactive (thio)acylium ions so far tested in the gas-phase Meerwein reaction. Under the low-energy ESI conditions set to favor both the formation of the (thio)acylium ion and ion/molecule reactions, (CH3)2NCO(S)+ react competitively with (thio)TMU to form acylated (thio)TMU and with the (thio)epoxide to form the characteristic Meerwein products. Enhanced selectivity in structural characterization or for the screening of (thio)epoxides is achieved by performing on-line collision-induced dissociation of Meerwein products, particularly for the more structurally complex (thio)epoxides. 相似文献

Phosphonium ions are shown to undergo a gas-phase Meerwein reaction in which epoxides (or thioepoxides) undergo three-to-five-membered ring expansion to yield dioxaphospholanium (or oxathiophospholanium) ion products. When the association reaction is followed by collision-induced dissociation (CID), the oxirane (or thiirane) is eliminated, making this ion molecule reaction/CID sequence a good method of net oxygen-by-sulfur replacement in the phosphonium ions. This replacement results in a characteristic mass shift of 16 units and provides evidence for the cyclic nature of the gas-phase Meerwein product ions, while improving selectivity for phosphonium ion detection. This reaction sequence also constitutes a gas-phase route to convert phosphonium ions into their sulfur analogs. Phosphonium and related ions are important targets since they are commonly and readily formed in mass spectrometric analysis upon dissociative electron ionization of organophosphorous esters. The Meerwein reaction should provide a new and very useful method of recognizing compounds that yield these ions, which includes a number of chemical warfare agents. The Meerwein reaction proceeds by phosphonium ion addition to the sulfur or oxygen center, followed by intramolecular nucleophilic attack with ring expansion to yield the 1,3,2-dioxaphospholanium or 1,3,2-oxathiophospholanium ion. Product ion structures were investigated by CID tandem mass spectrometry (MS(2)) experiments and corroborated by DFT/HF calculations. 相似文献

Protonated 1,4-benzodiazepines dissociate in the gas phase by the common pathway of CO elimination and by unique pathways dictated by the substituents; the latter typically differentiate one benzodiazepine from another. Protonated 3-dihydro-5-phenyl-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one, the base diazepam devoid of substituents, dissociates by eliminating CO, HNCO, benzene, and benzonitrile. Mechanisms of these reactions are proposed with ionic products being resonance stabilized. The abundant [MH-CO]+ ion dissociates to secondary products via elimination of benzene, benzonitrile, the NH2 radical, and ammonia, yielding again ionic products that are stabilized by resonance. 相似文献

The gas phase reactions of protonated tryptophan have been examined in a quadrupole ion trap using a combination of collision induced dissociation, hydrogen-deuterium exchange, regiospecific deuterium labeling and molecular orbital calculations (at the B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory). The loss of ammonia from protonated tryptophan is observed as the primary fragmentation pathway, with concomitant formation of a [M + H - NH(3)](+) ion by nucleophilic attack from the C3 position of the indole side chain. Hydrogen-deuterium exchange and regiospecific deuterium labeling reveals that scrambling of protons in the C2 and C4 positions of the indole ring, via intramolecular proton transfer from the thermodynamically preferred site of protonation at the amino nitrogen, precedes ammonia loss. Molecular orbital calculations have been employed to demonstrate that the activation barriers to intramolecular proton transfer are lower than that for NH(3) loss. 相似文献

[reaction: see text] Biologically important N-beta-hydroxyethylaziridine intermediates were conveniently prepared by regioselective ring-opening reactions of diversely substituted epoxides. Ethyleneimine generated in situ under basic conditions from beta-chloroethylamine was used as a nucleophile to open the epoxides in an aqueous environment. 相似文献

Protonated water clusters with 60 to 79 molecules have been studied by nanocalorimetry. The technique is based on multi-collision excitations of the accelerated clusters with helium. The caloric curves indicate transitions that resemble those of water clusters charged by an excess electron, but the transition temperatures of the protonated clusters are higher. 相似文献

The carbonylative opening of terminal epoxides under mild conditions has been developed using Co2(CO)8 as the catalyst. Under 1 atm of carbon monoxide and at room temperature in methanol, propylene oxide is converted to methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate in up to 89% yield. This transformation is general for many terminal epoxides bearing alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, alkoxy, chloromethyl, phthalimido, and acetal functional groups. The opening takes place without epimerization at the secondary stereocenter. 相似文献

The thermal reaction of [60]fullerene (C60) with the carbonyl ylides generated in situ from trans-epoxides to give C60-fused tetrahydrofuran derivatives has been investigated. The reaction of C60 with trans-2-benzoyl-3-aryloxiranes afforded only cis-products, while the reaction of C60 with 2-cyano-2-ethoxycarbonyl-3-aryloxiranes gave exclusively or predominantly cis isomers. The isomeric distributions of the latter reactions were drastically affected by the substituent on the phenyl ring. 相似文献

Fragmentation mechanisms of protonated chalcone and its derivatives with different functional groups were investigated by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The major fragmentation pathways were loss of the phenyl group from the A or B ring, combined with loss of CO. Losses of H(2)O and CO from the precursor ions of [M+H](+) are proposed to occur via rearrangements. Elimination of water from protonated chalcones was observed in all the title compounds to yield a stable ion but it was difficult to obtain skeletal fragmentation of a precursor ion. Loss of CO was found in the MS/MS spectra of all the compounds except the nitro-substituted chalcones. When the [M+H--CO](+) ion was fragmented in the MS/MS experiments, there were distinctive losses of 15 and 28 Da, as the methyl radical and ethylene, respectively. The ion at m/z 130, found only in the nitro-substituted chalcones, was assigned as C(9)H(6)O by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR)-MS/MS; m/z 130 is a common fragment ion in the electron ionization (EI) spectra of chalcones. In order to more easily distinguish the constitutional isomers of these chalcones, breakdown curves were produced and these provided strong support in this study. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of the protonated paralytic shellfish poisons saxitoxin (STX) and neosaxitoxin (NEO) in the gas-phase after ion activation using different tandem mass spectrometry techniques. STX and NEO belong to a group of neurotoxins produced by several strains of marine dinoflagellates. Their chemical structures are based on a tetrahydropurine skeleton to which a 5-membered ring is fused. STX and NEO only vary in their substituent at N-1, with STX carrying hydrogen and NEO having a hydroxyl group at this position. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra exhibited an unusually rich variety and abundance of species due to the large number of functional groups within the small skeletal structures. Starting with triple-quadrupole CID spectra as templates, linked ion-trap MSn data were added to provide tentative dissociation schemes. Subsequent high-resolution FTICR experiments gave exact mass data for product ions formed via infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) from which elemental formulas were derived. Calculations of proton affinities of STX and NEO suggested that protonation took place at the guanidinium group in the pyrimidine ring for both molecules. Most of the observed parallel and consecutive fragmentations could be rationalized through neutral losses of H2O, NH3, CO, CO2, CH2O and different isocyanate, ketenimine and diimine species, many of which were similar for STX and NEO. Several exceptions, however, were noted and differences could be readily correlated with reactions involving NEO's additional hydroxyl group. A few interesting variations between CID and IRMPD spectra are also highlighted in this paper. 相似文献

We have explored the possibilities of generating radical anions under electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) conditions. By using different sets of ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers of nitrobenzoic acids, methylphenols, and nitrophenols, and m-, and p-isomers of hydroxybenzaldehydes and hydroxyacetophenones as the precursor molecules, we have successfully generated the isomeric distonic dehydrophenoxide radical anions (m/z 92) using the ESI process by applying relatively high capillary voltages, the in-source dissociation (ISD) condition. Under the same conditions, the o-hydroxybenzaldehyde and the o-hydroxyacetophenone yielded the even-electron dehydrophenoxide anion (m/z 93) due to the well-known ortho-effect. The distonic phenoxide radical anions at m/z 92 were also generated under APCI-ISD conditions by using m- and p-isomers of nitrobenzaldehydes and nitroacetophenones. While the o-nitrobenzaldehyde and the o-nitroacetophenone mainly yielded the phenoxide anion at m/z 93, due to the ortho-effect. The collision-induced dissociation (CID) experiments of all the anionic precursor molecules formed from either ESI or APCI produced comparable mass spectra as those observed in the ESI-ISD or the APCI-ISD experiments. The radical anions at m/z 92 reacted with CO2 and O2 to form the CO2 adduct and the oxygen atom abstraction product, respectively, revealing the dual-character of the distonic radical anions, the phenide ion and the phenyl radical. Computational studies support the results of the ion-molecule reactions. 相似文献

Ultrasound accelerated a safe, clean and environmentally benign one-pot, three-component synthesis of 2-hydroxy dithiocarbamate, from amine, carbon disulfide and epoxide in good to excellent yields and short reaction time with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities in green reaction media (water, deep eutectic solvent [DES] and polyethylene glycol [PEG]). The one-pot, three-component condensation of primary and secondary amine with carbon disulfide and epoxides under ultrasonic irradiation was developed as a green and fast protocol for the rapid high-yielding preparation of 2-hydroxy dithiocarbamate in green reaction media without organic solvent and tedious workup. 相似文献

In the mass spectrometry of pyridyl carbamates, alkyl cation transfer is one of the major fragmentation reactions of the protonated molecules. Literature results and theoretical calculations indicate that the pyridine nitrogen is the most favorable site for protonation in these structures. Substituent and comparison experiments run to elucidate the fragmentation patterns reveal that the proton is localized at the pyridine nitrogen and the reaction center is charge-remote when the alkyl cation transfer occurs. The mechanism involving configuration inversion via an ion-neutral complex is favorable in energy for the alkyl cation transfer in these structures. 相似文献

Formation and low energy collision-induced dissociation (CID) of doubly charged metal(II) complexes ([metal(II)+L n ]2+, metal(II)=Co(II), Mn(II), Ca(II), Sr(II) and L = acetonitrile, pyridine, and methanol) were investigated. Complexes of [metal(II)+L n ]2+ where n≤7 were obtained using electrospray ionization. Experimental parameters controlling the dissociation pathways for [Co(II)+(CH3CN)2]2+ were studied and a strong dependence of these processes on the collision energy was found. However, the dissociation pathways appear to be independent of the cone potential, indicating low internal energy of the precursor ions. In order to probe how these processes are related to intrinsic parameters of the ligand such as ionization potential and metal ion coordination, low energy CID spectra of [metal(II)+L n ]2+ for ligands such as acetonitrile, pyridine, and methanol were compared. For L = pyridine, all metals including the alkaline earth metals Ca and Sr were reduced to the bare [metal(I)]+ species. Hydride transfer was detected upon low energy CID of [metal(II)+L n ]2+ for metal(II)=Co(II) and Mn(II) and L = methanol, and corroborated by signals for [metal(II)+H?]+ and [metal(II)+H?+CH3OH]+, as well as by the complementary ion [CH3O]+. 相似文献

The decomposition reaction mechanism of the anions generated by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) mass spectrometry, in the negative mode, of nitroanilines and 2,4-dinitroanilines has been probed using quantum chemical calculations. The same process has been analyzed for the neutral counterparts and the simpler neutral and anionic nitrobenzenes. Our computations using density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,2p) level demonstrate that the decomposition of the anion occurs in a two-stage process, involving an initial nitro-nitrite rearrangement followed by a NO-elimination leading to formation of a phenoxy radical anion derivative. The former is by far the rate-determining step. Calculations using the MP2 and CCSD(T)/6-311++G(d,p) levels also pointed out the same energy landscape. A similar mechanism has also been emphasized for the neutral counterparts. The effects of the amino and nitro groups as well as that of the negative charge on the nitro-nitrite interconversion are rather small and do not qualitatively modify the landscape of the pertinent energy surface and thereby the NO-loss mechanism. 相似文献
