Investigation of Reactive Intermediates of Chemical Reactions in Solution by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry: Radical Chain Reactions

Abstract

A useful tool for the investigation of synthetically important tributyltin-mediated radical chain reactions is electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESIMS). A microreaction system is coupled online to the ESI source. Transient radicals were detected unambiguously by using MS/MS methods (see picture).
