Abstract
A possibility of dipeptide derivatization by alkyl chloroformate—alkanol (Alk = Me, Et, Pr, Bu) mixed reactants for their determination and differentiation of isomers in mixtures by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with electron and chemical ionization and collisional activation was studied. Prospects for using derivatization by mixtures of methyl chloroformate with 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, 2,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropanol, and 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutanol were shown. Diagnostic ions that make it possible to determine the amino acid sequence in dipeptides and distinguish residues of isomeric leucine and isoleucine were revealed.
