General description

2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (4-(trifluoromethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl bromide) has been reported to be prepared in one step from α,α,α−2,3,5,6-heptafluoro-p-xylene.[1]

Application

2,3,5,6-Tetrafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl bromide (4-(trifluoromethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl bromide, TTBB) may be employed as an alternate of pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBB) in electrophoric derivatization reactions prior to detection during gas chromatography-electron-capture negative ion mass spectrometry (GC-ECNI-MS).[1] TTBB may be employed as derivatization reagent for the characterization and quantitation of DNA and hemoglobin adducts.[2]

The analytical potential of gas chromatography/electron capture negative chemical ionization high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) for characterization and quantitation of DNA and hemoglobin adducts was demonstrated using three model compounds: N2, 3-ethenoguanine (EG), 7-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanine (7-HEG), and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)valine (HEV).

4-(Trifluoromethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl bromide (TTBB) was synthesized in a single step from alpha,alpha,alpha,2,3,5,6-heptafluoro-p-xylene. The purpose of TTBB is to function as an analogue of pentafluorobenzyl bromide (PFBB) in electrophoric derivatization reactions prior to detection by gas chromatography-electron-capture negative ion mass spectrometry (GC-ECNI-MS).
