Electrospray tandem mass-spectrometric analysis of diastereo- and stereoisomeric pyrimidine nucleoside analogues based on the 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan core.
Electrospray mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry have aided the structural characterization of the diastereoisomeric cis- and trans-1-(3-benzoyloxymethyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan-1-yl)thymines and the four enantiomerically pure stereoisomers of uracil analogues. Low-energy collision-induced dissociation MS/MS analysis of the various precursor molecular and cluster ions confirmed the characteristic fingerprint pattern obtained in the conventional electrospray spectra and allowed a convenient method for the characterization of novel 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]furan nucleosides.
