摘要

The derivatization reaction of the mycotoxin moniliformin with 1,2-diamino-4,5-dichlorobenzene was previously introduced to improve distinctly the sensitivity of an assay applying high-performance liquid chromatography prior to fluorescence detection. In the course of the implementation of this derivatization approach into a liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric method, an unexpected derivatization product has now been discovered by mass spectrometry. In order to elucidate its structure, detailed investigations with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography coupled on-line with NMR spectroscopy were performed. These studies give evidence for a heterocyclic structure that has been formed by the loss of one water and one carbon monoxide molecule. A reasonable mechanism for this derivatization reaction is proposed.Copyright 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
