Purification and Characterization of Compounds

Reagents were obtained from commercial suppliers and were used without purification, except for ethyl formate which was distilled before use. Standard syringe techniques were used to transfer dry solvents and air‐ or moisture‐sensitive reagents. Reactions were followed, and RF values were obtained using thin‐layer chromatography (TLC) on silica gel‐coated plates (Merck 60 F254) with the indicated solvent mixture. Detection was performed under ultraviolet (UV) light and by charring at ∼ 150 °C after dipping into a solution of either 2% anisaldehyde in ethanol/H2SO4, KMnO4 or ninhydrin. Nuclear magnetic resonance (1H and 13C NMR) spectra were recorded at 298 K on a Varian Inova 400 (400 MHz), Bruker Avance III 400 MHz or Bruker Avance III 500 MHz spectrometer in the solvent indicated. Chemical shifts are given in parts per million (ppm) with respect to tetramethylsilane (0.00 ppm) as the internal standard for 1H NMR and CDCl3 (77.16 ppm) as the internal standard for 13C NMR. Coupling constants are reported as J values in hertz (Hz). High‐resolution mass spectra (HRMS) were recorded with JEOL AccuTOF mass spectrometer. Column or flash chromatography was carried out using ACROS silica gel (0.035–0.070 mm and 60 Å pore diameter).

Isothermal Decomposition of PMMA

The isothermal decomposition of PMMA was analyzed with an Accu-ToF LC-plus JMS-T100 LP mass spectrometer JEOL (Tokyo, Japan) working with a direct-analysis-in-real-time (DART) ion source (Ion Sense, Saugus, MA, USA). The sample was used without any prior preparation. The fragments that resulted from the decomposition process were evaporated in a stream of helium atmosphere heated at constant temperatures of 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 and 550 °C. The heated helium/vapor mixture was then ionized by excited metastable helium atoms before entering the ion source of the time-of-flight mass spectrometer. All the samples were analyzed with DART-ToF-MS using the Accu-TOF mass spectrometer acquired from JEOL (Tokyo, Japan). The experimental conditions were as follows: vacuum level 1.3 × 105 Pa, He used as a heating and ionization gas, ring lens with a voltage of 4 V, peaks voltage of 500 V, and a mass resolution that ranged between 3600 and 4900. The sample (1–2 mg) in powder form was placed in a small piece of sandpaper and introduced between the DART outlet and the MS port inlet, and polyethylene glycol (104 g·mol−1) was used in this work for calibration.

DART-TOF-MS Analysis of Herbal Products

A direct analysis in real time (DART) source (IonSense, Saugus, MA) was coupled to a JEOL accurate mass time-of-flight (AccuTOF) mass spectrometer (JEOL USA Inc, Peabody, MA). The DART-TOF-MS instrument was operated under the following conditions: orifice 1 temperature at 80°C, orifice 1 voltages were 20, 30, 60, and 90 V using function switching mode in which the voltage was switched every 0.25 sec, orifice 2 and ring lens at 5 V, helium gas flow at 2.5 L/min at 275°C, needle voltage at 4000 V, and grid electrode at 250 V. A dilute methanolic solution of polyethylene glycol with an average mass of 1000 (PEG 1000, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was run within each data file as an internal calibration. The closed end of a capillary melting point tube (Kimble Chase, Vineland, NJ) was dipped into methanolic standards or undiluted methanolic herbal product extracts and placed into the DART-TOF-MS sample gap. The exact mass of the protonated molecule for each compound was expected to fall within ± 5 mDa of its calculated exact mass. The system was controlled by Mass Center software (JEOL USA Inc, Peabody, MA). TSSPro 3.0 software (Shrader Analytical, Detroit, MI) was used to create averaged and background-subtracted spectra.

Analytical Techniques for Chemical Characterization

All commercial materials (solvents, reagents, and substrates) were used as received. SilicaFlash silica gel, P60, 40–63 µm particle size (SiliCycle) was used for column chromatography. High-performance liquid chromatography was performed on a PerkinElmer Series 200 pump with a Waters 2487 Dual λ Absorbance Detector connected to an eDAQ PowerChrom 280 recorder. One-dimensional 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on a Varian UnityPlus 500 MHz or Varian Mercury 400 MHz spectrometer. Chemical shifts are reported in ppm, and the signals were referenced to residual undeuterated solvent signals. Mass spectra were recorded using an Agilent 6538 mass spectrometer with a Q-TOF ionization source or a JEOL AccuTOF mass spectrometer with a DART ionization source.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
