Application of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry to the structure determination of medium and large macrocycles formed by palladium(0)-catalyzed allylation of arenesulfonamides, sulfamide, and cyanamide

摘要

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry allowed the direct determination of the extent of macrocyclic and linear oligomer formation in the palladium(0)-catalyzed allylation of highly acidic and non-nucleophilic arenesulfonamides, sulfamide, and cyanamide. Palladium-containing 15-membered-ring macrocyclic compounds gave unusual [M - H](+) ions besides [M + Na](+) and [M + K](+) adducts, Copyright (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [References: 20]
