Partition chromatography and mass spectrometry of tetrulose and pentuloses

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Partition chromatography on ion exchange resins in aqueous ethanol is an excellent tool for the separation of tetrulose and pentuloses for both analytical and preparative purposes. The analysis of complex mixtures is facilitated by the fact that the ketoses are recorded by both the orcinol and periodate-formaldehyde methods whereas under proper conditions aldoses are only recorded in the orcinol channel. In gas chromatography the trimethylsilylated 3-pentuloses gave rise to only one prominent peak which as revealed by mass spectrometry corresponded to the keto form. Tetrulose and the 2-pentuloses gave two or more peaks. The 1,2-enediol derivative obtained from tetrulose was identical with that recorded for threose.

Reducing end groups in brich xylan and their alkaline degradation
- 1977

- The structure of the reducing end group in xylan can be written: -β-D-Xylp-(1→4)-β-D-Xylp-(1→3)-α-L-Rhap-(1→2)--α-D-GalpA-(1→4)-D-XylIn alkaline media the reducing xylose group is easily isomerized and removed by a β-elimination which leads to a reducing galacturonic acid end group. The 1, 2-linkage between rhamnose and the galacturonic acid explains the retarding effect on the alkaline peeling. Even under fairly mild conditions the galacturonic acid group is converted to other groups which are very stable in alkaline media. Model experiments permit the conclusion that OH-3 in the reducing group is subjected to β-hydroxyelimination. The 3-deoxy-2-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-D-threo-hex-2-enuronic acid group formed is unstable in acid medium and escapes observation by the techniques employed for determination of the end groups.Upon prolonged alkaline treatment and increased proportion of these groups is lost and a rapid peeling proceeds until a xylose group with a 4-O-methylglucuronic acid substituent is liberated. The consecutive reactions of this group are similar to those of the galacturonic acid groups.The formation of 3-deoxyaldonic acid end groups, an important stopping reaction in cellulose, is of minor importance in xylan.The financial support from the 1959 Års Fond för Teknisk och Skoglig Forskning samt Utbildning is gratefully acknowledged.

Dicarboxylic acids produced by oxygen-alkali treatment of birch xylan
- 1975
-
Ingår i: Acta Chem. Scand. B. ; 29:4, s. 526-527
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- C-(2-Hydroxyethyl)tartronic acid is predominant among the dicarboxylic acids and its formation in 12 % yield makes it a major product from xylan. The structure indicates that it is formed from terminal, oxidized xylose units by beta-elimination at C-4 and subsequent benzilic acid rearrangement. It is proposed that 2-ulosonic acid end-groups or ulosono-1,5-lactone end-groups, related in structure to ascorbic acid, are formed as precursors.

Oxygen-alkali treatment of cellobiose
- 1975
-
Ingår i: Acta Chem. Scand. B. ; 29:9, s. 975-980
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- C-(2,3-Dihydroxypropyl)tartronic acid is a major dicarboxylic acid formed during O2-NaOH and O2-NaHCO3 treatment of cellobiose. The observation that this acid is the main reaction product after alkali treatment ofascorbic acid in O2-free medium supports the conclusion that it is formed via an aglycon moiety related to ascorbic acid. Other dicarboxylic acids from cellobiose are oxalic, tartronic, deoxytetraric, C-(hydroxymethyl)tartronic, and succinic acids.The temperature, pH and additions of iron and cobalt salts strongly influence the product composition. The formation of aldobionic acids from cellobiose parallels the formationof aldonic acid end groups during oxygen bleaching of cellulose.

Phenolic compounds in kraft black liquor
- 1978

Ingår i: Svensk Papperstidning. ; 81:12, s. 392-396
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The prominent phenolic compounds with one aromatic ring in kraft black liquor were analysed by a combination of liquid chromatography, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. Extracted spruce meal was cooked both under mild, conventional conditions and under extremely severe conditions. In all, the analyzed phenolic compounds amounted to 0.6 kg per 100 kg of dry wood under conventional conditions. In addition to 2-methoxyphenol, vanillin and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone, several phenolic alcohols and carboxylic acids with the same aromatic substitution were isolated and identified. The yield of related 3,4- dihydroxyphenylsubstituted compounds increased under severe conditions.

Determination of the number and position of methoxyl groups in methylated aldohexoses by mass spectrometry of their trimethylsilyl derivatives.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Trimethylsilylation of methylated aldohexopyranoses and mass spectrometry of the mixed derivatives permits a simple determination of the number and location of the methoxyl groups. Advantage is taken of the close analogy between the fragmentation of the mixed derivatives and of fully methylated species. The fragmentation is discussed on the basis of the spectra of twenty species. Spectra of derivatives of hexofuranoses and ethylated hexopyranoses indicate that the method can be applied to these species as well.

Determination of the number and position of methoxyl groups in methylated aldopentoses by mass spectrometry of their trimethylsilyl derivatives
- 1968
-
Ingår i: Svensk Papperstidning. ; 71:3, s. 77-84
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A close analogy exists between the mass spectrometric fragmentation of fully methylated aldopentopyranoses and trimethylsilyl derivatives of partially methylated aldopentopyranoses. Hence, mass spectrometry of the trimethylsilyl derivatives permits a simple determination of the number and position of methoxyl groups in partially methylated aldopentoses. Reference substances are not necessary for identification. The method is useful in studies of the structure of polysaccharides.

Formation of 1,4-anhydro-3-deoxypentitol-2-carboxylic acids by alkaline degradation of cellulose
- 1976
-
Ingår i: Acta Chemica Scandinavica B. ; 30, s. 27-30
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- An anhydroisosaccharinic acid obtained in large amounts by end-wise degradation of cellulose in alkaline media, and in small amounts in hydrolysates of cellulose, has been identified as a 1,4-anhydro-3-deoxypentitol-2-carboxylic acid (3-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolane-3-carboxylic acid). Structural evidence was obtained by GC-MS studies of the compounds (as Me3Si derivatives) obtained on degradation of the acid to 1,4-anhydro-3-deoxypentitol by reduction of the methyl ester followed by periodate oxidation and borohydride reduction. In aqueous alkali, the acid is likely to be formed from a dicarbonyl precursor by benzilic acid rearrangement.

Gas chromatographic separation of aldonic acids as trimethylsilyl derivatives
- 1967

Ingår i: Svensk Papperstidning. ; 70:11, s. 371-375
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The separation of trimethylsilyl derivatives of various aldono-1,4-lactones was studied by gas chromatography on a large number of stationary phases. These lactones which are conveniently prepared by evaporating sample solutions containing aldonic acids in the presence of hydrochloric acid, gave rise to single chromatographic peaks. Under other working conditions e.g. by evaporation in the presence of calcium chloride, three peaks can be recorded for each aldonic acid. These were identified by their mass spectra as the fully trimethylsubstituted derivatives of the 1,4-lactone, 1,5-lactone and the trimethylsilyl ester.

Mass spectrometric identification of aldonolactones as trimethylsilyl derivatives
- 1967

Ingår i: Acta Chemica Scandinavica. ; 21:1967, s. 1251-1256
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Trimethylsilyl ethers of aldonolactones are useful for the identification of aldonic acids by mass spectrometry. Peaks recorded for the molecular ion (M) and for mass M-15 give a reliable determination of the molecular weight. Significant differences exist between 1,4- and 1,5-lactones. All diastereomers studied can be well distinguished from each other.
