ABSTRACT
The potential of ion mobility (IM) spectrometry in combination with mass spectrometry (MS) for real-time reaction monitoring is reported. The combined IM-MS approach using electrospray ionization affords gas-phase analyte characterization based on both mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio and gas-phase ion mobility (drift time). The use of IM-MS analysis is demonstrated for the monitoring of the reaction products formed when 7-fluoro-6-hydroxy-2-methylindole is deprotonated by aqueous sodium hydroxide. Real-time reaction monitoring was carried out over a period of several hours, with the reaction mixture sampled and analysed at intervals of several minutes. Product ion relative intensity is enhanced selectively in the ion mobility-selected mass spectrum, compared to mass spectrometry alone. The combined IM-MS approach has potential as a rapid and selective technique to aid pharmaceutical process control and for the elucidation of reaction mechanism.
