Disaccharides tagged with p-aminobenzoic acid (ABA) were separated by capillary electrophoresis (CE) and analyzed on-line with negative ion electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS). The formation of glycosylamine instead of reductive amination was selected as the derivatization reaction. In negative ion ESI, the glycosylamine approach provides more information on linkage and...

Materials and methods To analyze the catalytic activity of PHGDH on possible alternative substrates, we conducted in vitro biochemical assays on recombinant human PHGDH. The reaction rate in the reductive direction with various substrates was monitored based on NADH consumption, measured by absorbance at 340 nm. The identity and chirality of products were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass ...

Reaction between a β-diketiminato magnesium hydride and carbon monoxide results in the isolation of a dimeric cis-enediolate species through the reductive coupling of two CO molecules. Under catalytic conditions with PhSiH3 , an observable magnesium formyl species may be intercepted for the mild reductive cleavage of the CO triple bond.

The intramolecular carbothiolation of unsaturated hydrocarbons using a palladium–NHC catalyst (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) is described. Herein, single system enables both initial activation C(sp2)–S bond through oxidative addition and formation C(sp3)–S terminal reductive elimination, unlocking completely atom-economical transfer across alkenes. reaction tolerates variety different functiona...

Serotonin-bonded silica was developed for specific extraction of sialic-acid-containing glycans and glycopeptides. Serotonin, coupled by reductive amination with aldehyde silica particles via its ethylamino group, has strong affinity to sialic acid in glycan chain termini. Sialylated glycans trapped on serotonin silica particles are released by washing with ammonium acetate solution, providing ...

The reductive cleavage of the Si-Si bond in 1,1-bis(1-methyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1-silacyclopentadiene) [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)] (1) with either Li or Na in THF gives the silole anion [MeSiC(4)Ph(4)]- (2). The head-to-tail dimerization of the silole anion 2 gives crystals of the disilatricyclic diallylic dianion [(C(4)Ph(4)SiMe)(2)]-2 (3). The derivatization of 3 (crystals) with bromoethane (gas) u...
