Identification of homoserine lactone derivatives using the methionine functionalized solid phase synthesis by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry

Arch Pharm Res. 2004 Jan;27(1):25-30. doi: 10.1007/BF02980040.

Abstract

Combinatorial homoserine lactone mixtures and individual products were obtained from the methionine-functionalized resin in solid-phase synthesis. The four-step process consisting of a coupling step of an N-Fmoc-L-methionine, deprotection of N-Fmoc group, N-coupling with a carboxylic acid, and cleavage reaction through a polymer supported strategy is described. Gas chromatography-mass selective detector (GC-MSD) techniques provide the most powerful methods for identifying both the combinatorial mixtures and individual products.
