A mass spectrometry assay is presented here that allows for the simultaneous determination of yield and enantioselectivity in a single analysis. The assay makes use of molecules that are structurally similar to the analytes of interest as standards. The assay predicts the yields of the reactions reasonably well and with little error. For example, in the pig liver esterase catalyzed hydrolysis of one prochiral malonate, the yield predicted by the assay was 72%, while larger scale isolated reaction yields were within 5% of this value. This assay provides a fast method to determine yield and enantioselectivity in one analysis. The strengths and limitations of this method are discussed.
这里提出了一种质谱分析方法,可以在单次分析中同时测定产率和对映选择性。该测定利用结构与目标分析物相似的分子作为标准。该测定相当好地预测了反应的产率并且误差很小。例如,在猪肝
酯酶催化
水解一种前手性
丙二酸中,测定预测的产率为72%,而更大规模的分离反应产率在该值的5%以内。该测定提供了一种在一次分析中确定产量和对映选择性的快速方法。讨论了该方法的优点和局限性。
