For the first time, the bidentate phosphinite ligand 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinoxy)ethane (tBu POCH CH OPtBu ) was synthesized. In the presence of this ligand, various N-acyl enamides were obtained in good yields and chemoselectivity by Pd-catalyzed carbonylation reaction of imines containing α-H. Meanwhile, imines without α-H could be transformed to N-acyl imines, which form highly hindered amides by straightforward addition of Grignard reagents.

Diagnostic MS/MS fragmentation patterns for the discrimination between Schiff bases and their Amadori or Heyns rearrangement products.

Schiff bases, the Amadori and Heyns rearrangement products are the most important isomeric intermediates involved in the early Maillard reaction; distinguishing between them by analytical mass spectroscopic techniques remains a challenge. Here we demonstrate that MS/MS fragmentation patterns can be used for the discrimination between glucose derived Schiff bases, Amadori, and Heyns compounds with glycine. An ESI-qTOF-MS system operated in the positive mode under both acidic and neutral conditions was employed to generate unique MS/MS fragmentation patterns of the molecules.

Electrospray ionization of mixtures of isomeric and isobaric amino acids was investigated with the goal of distinguishing and quantifying the components. Isomeric amino acids leucine and isoleucine were readily distinguished and quantified in 90 : 10 to 10 : 90 binary mixtures using two-stage (MS(2)) and three-stage (MS(3)) tandem mass spectrometric dissociations of ternary Cu(2+)-2, 2'-bipyridyl (bpy) complexes, [Cu(AA - H)bpy](+). The complexes self-assembled in solution upon mixing the components and provided a convenient means of efficient derivatization that increased the efficiency of amino acid ionization by electrospray and shifted the mass of the analytes to a region which was free of solvent interferences.
