Probing the mechanism of the Ugi four-component reaction with charge-tagged reagents by ESI-MS(/MS).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The mechanism of the Ugi four-component reaction has been investigated by electrospray ionization (tandem) mass spectrometry using charge-tagged reagents (a carboxylic acid or an amine) to favour detection. Key intermediates were transferred directly via ESI(+) from the reaction solution to the gas phase and characterized by MS measurements and MS/MS collision induced dissociation. The Mumm rearrangement (final step) was also investigated by both travelling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and DFT calculations. The data seem to consolidate the amazingly selective mechanism of this intricate four-component reaction.

In-spray supercharging of peptides and proteins in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
Enhanced charging, or supercharging, of analytes in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) facilitates high resolution MS by reducing an ion mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio, increasing tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) efficiency. ESI MS supercharging is usually achieved by adding a supercharging reagent to the electrospray solution. Addition of these supercharging reagents to the mobile ...
متن کاملSynthesis of antibacterial 1,3-diyne-linked peptoids from an Ugi-4CR/Glaser coupling approach
A library of ten 1,3-diyne-linked peptoids has been synthesized through an Ugi four-component reaction (U-4CR) followed by a copper-catalysed alkyne homocoupling (Glaser reaction). The short and chemoselective reaction sequence allows generating diverse (pseudo) dimeric peptoids. A combinatorial version allows the one-pot preparation of, e.g., six-compound-libraries of homo- and heterodimers ve...
متن کاملMechanistic features of the copper-free Sonogashira reaction from ESI-MS.
The mechanism of the Sonogashira reaction in methanol was studied in detail using pressurized sample infusion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-ESI-MS). Several key intermediates were identified and their structures were assigned by MS/MS studies. Cationic and anionic charged-tagged substrates were employed to look into the mechanism of this reaction from variety of angles. A rever...
متن کاملA Novel Strategy of Ugi-4CR/Huisgen 1,3-Dipolar Synthesis of 1H-1,2,3-Triazole-Modified Peptidoimetics
In this protocol, we report a novel approach for the synthesis of a new class of heterocyclic 1H-1,2,3-triazole-modified peptidomimetic compounds. The process consists of an Ugi four-component condensation reaction of amines, an isocyanide, an aldehyde and acids followed by a Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction with an azide group in the presence of a catalytic amount of CuSO4</...
متن کاملCharge-tagged ligands: useful tools for immobilising complexes and detecting reaction species during catalysis
In recent years, charge-tagged ligands (CTLs) have become valuable tools in organometallic catalysis. Insertion of an ionic side chain into the molecular skeleton of a known ligand has become a useful protocol for anchoring ligands, and consequently catalysts, in polar and ionic liquid phases. In addition, the insertion of a cationic moiety into a ligand is a powerful tool that can be used to d...
