ESI MS on Boc-amine
« on: March 22, 2021, 06:58:52 PM »
Do you normally see the [M+H] on secondary Boc-amine under LC-ESI MS? I have hard time seeing it, but by NMR it should be the Boc-amine structure. Should I increase the acidity of the mobile phase? Should I increase the temperature of the probe to thermally cleave the Boc to see the free amine + H? Thanks!

Do you see [M+H] minus C4H8 or some other ?
Perhaps HOCOC4H9?

If you are using trifluoroacetic acid, this gives very strong ion pairs MH pos CF3 COO neg that are neutral.
Might have to switch to formic acid.

Not sure what system are you using but you might try direct injection into the MS and fine tune the ionization parameteres for your compound to ionize. At least, thats what we do on waters
