Applications of TiCl3 as a Diagnostic Reagent for the Detection of Nitro- and N-Oxide-Containing Compounds as Potentially Mutagenic Impurities Using Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry
摘要:
The ICH has strict guidelines for limiting the presence of potentially mutagenic impurities (PMIs) in marketed drugs. Therefore, it is important to fully characterize and quantitate all possible PMIs that could arise during the process of synthesizing and developing a drug. Two important and prevalent examples of PMIs are compounds containing N-oxide and nitro functional groups. TiCl3 derivatization is an established method for determining the presence or absence of N-oxide metabolites by reduction to the corresponding amine. In this study, we demonstrate a novel application of TiCl3 reduction combined with high-resolution UHPLC/HRMS to analyze PMIs. The results indicate that a variety of N-oxide- and nitro-containing compounds can be readily characterized by this facile platform method. In addition, we show that this chemical derivatization method can be utilized to enhance the ionization of nitro-containing compounds for LC/MS analysis.
Substitution reaction of 4-hydroxymethylaniline derivatives with resonance-stabilized carbon nucleophiles and an acid-labile nucleophile, including β-ketoester, 1,3-diketone, α-nitroester, and silylenolether, proceeded efficiently upon heating at 80°C in a neutral solvent system. The reaction was successfully applied to the synthesis of 4-aminophenylalanine.
The titled triazine can be alkylated with LDA and a variety of alkyl halides: subsequent reduction with aluminium amalgam cleaves the naphthotriazine moiety to afford substituted α amino acids in excellent overall yields; the sequence defines a novel methodology that can be applied under non-acidic and largely non-aqueous conditions.

Abstract A general and efficient syntheticroute to α-aminoacids by alkylation of the sodium salt of Schiff base ester 1 has been described previously. The α-substituted ethyl glycinates 4a–g are prepared in excellent yield by a two-step sequence involving regioselective alkylation of the anionic glycine synthon 2 with various alkyl halides, followed by purification of the alkylated Schiff base on
