Concise Synthesis of Photocleavable Molecular Tag for Laser Desorption Ionization Mass Spectrometry via Fries Reaction
摘要:
A new synthetic route for the photocleavable molecular tag for laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI-MS) was achieved using the Fries reaction of 2,6-dimethylphenyl ester as its key reaction. Zirconium chloride was used as uniquely efficient adjuvant to promote the reaction. The molecular tag was obtained in five steps without chromatographic purification.

The aldol addition reaction between γ-oxygenated carboxylic esters derived from 2,6-dimethylphenol and piperonal
摘要:
The stereoselectivity of the aldol addition reaction between gamma-oxygenated DMP-esters 1a-b and piperonal depends on the nature of the gamma-oxygenated substituent. A syn-diastereoselectivity was observed from 1a. This reverse selectivity is due to the chelation properties of the ketal moiety leading preferentially to the Z-enolate 7a by altering the transition state of the deprotonation step.
