Abstract
(3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyleneglycol (MHPG) is acylated at the phenolic group with acetic anhydride, and the product is condensed with methaneboronic or butaneboronic acids. The derivatives so obtained are suitable for selective ion-monitoring during combined gas chromatography/mass spectrometry since, after the loss of the acetyl group, very abundant ions of MHPG-bo ronates are obtained.Keywords
