A New Derivatization Approach for the Determination of Prostaglandin A1 by Mass Fragmentography

  • Chapter

Abstract

The derivatization of prostaglandins A1 and A2 with BSTFA/ piperidine (1/1) at 60°C for 1 hour gives a new type of derivative (piperidyl-PGA (TMS)3) whose mass spectral pattern is characterized by a very abundant M-173 fragment. The proposed mechanism of nucleo- philic addition of piperidine on the C-11 of PGAs has now been shown to apply as well to the reaction of PGA1 with 1/1 mixtures of BSTFA and other nitrogen containing heterocyclics such as pyrrolidine, propylenimine, morpholine or hexamethylenimine which give the corresponding pyrrolidyl-, propyleniminyl-, morpholyl-, or hexamethyleniminyl- PGA (TMS)3 derivatives, respectively, all of them also giving a base peak at M-173.
