| Abstract | |
This dissertation aims to study the mechanism of the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction in three versions (Classical, Aza and Asymmetric) using Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). For the mechanistic monitoring of the classical and Aza versions (MBH/Aza-MBH) a new approach was introduced, that is the use of marked reagents with charge tag (ionic liquid) in order to facilitate the detection of the reaction intermediates and maximize the data acquisition when monitoring these reactions. Among the start material, (electrophile, catalyst and activated alkene) the activated alkene was the marked reagent, using imidazolium ion as charge tag. Besides the use of a marked reagent, both versions (MBH/Aza-MBH) were monitored using neutral reagents, in order to compare the methodologies used, with and without charge tag. For the asymmetric MBH reaction, were used two hidroxylated chiral amines derived from cinchona alkaloids, quinidine and ?-isocupreidine. The mechanistic monitoring of the asymmetric reaction was performed using an ion mobility mass spectrometry IM-MS. The type of mobility used in this study was "traveling wave", commercially known as TWIM-MS (Traveling Wave Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry). Using this instrument was possible to separate and characterize stereoisomerics intermediates formed in the course of the reaction. Theoretical calculations of the transition states for the formation of these intermediates were performed in order to support the data obtained by TWIM-MS. The use of a marked reagent in complete monitoring of the MBH/Aza-MBH reaction showed better results than non-tag reaction. Intermediates not detected by the non-tag methodology were detected and characterized by the charge tag methodology, furthermore, the intensity of these intermediates were higher than non-tag reaction. For the asymmetric version, the data obtained by TWIM-MS and theoretical calculations enabled a better understanding of the enantioselectivity of the MBH reaction when different chiral catalysts are used (AU) | |
