Fast Pyrolysis of 13C-Labeled Cellobioses: Gaining Insights into the Mechanisms of Fast Pyrolysis of Carbohydrates
摘要:
A fast-pyrolysis probe/tandem mass spectrometer combination was utilized to determine the initial fast-pyrolysis products for four different selectively C-13-labeled cellobiose molecules. Several products are shown to result entirely from fragmentation of the reducing end of cellobiose, leaving the nonreducing end intact in these products. These findings are in disagreement with mechanisms proposed previously. Quantum chemical calculations were used to identify feasible low-energy pathways for several products. These results provide insights into the mechanisms of fast pyrolysis of cellulose.

Ni(II) N-glycosidecomplexes of four diastereomeric monosaccharides were synthesized and analyzed by fast atom bombardment-mass spectrometry. The average kineticenergyrelease (KER) associated with the formation of a C2H4O2 neutral loss was indicative of stereochemical differences in the coordinated monosaccharide. Isotopic labeling studies and various linked scanning techniques were undertaken, suggesting
