M. Bartok et al., Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry in the heterogeneous catalyzed organic reactions: unknown compounds in the pyruvate hydrogenation, CATAL LETT, 61(1-2), 1999, pp. 57-60
The transformation of cinchonidine was studied in the presence of hydrogen
on Pt/alumina by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry using in-source
CID. So far unknown compounds were identified. Further studies on the basis
of these new observations may permit to establish a more comprehensive mec
hanism of enantioselective hydrogenation of alpha-ketoesters.
