Yn. Wu et al., STEREOCHEMICAL EFFECT IN MASS-SPECTROMETR Y .19. DETERMINATION OF THEOPTICAL PURITY OF ALPHA-PHENYLETHYLAMINE BY MASS-SPECTROMETRY, Gaodeng xuexiao huaxue xuebao, 17(9), 1996, pp. 1421-1423
It is found that in the fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra R-alp
ha-phenylethylamine and S-alpha-phenylethylamine can be clearly distin
guished by S-1,1'-binaphthyl-2, 2'-diylhydrogenphosphate (S-BNP), Mixt
ure of R-alpha-phenylethylamine and S-alpha-phenylethylamine also be t
ested and the relative abundance of the characteristic ion of mixture
is related to the composition of the mixtute. We have therefore propos
ed a possible method to determine the optical purity of alpha-phenylet
hylamine.
