General description

Nα-(2,4-Dinitro-5-fluorophenyl)-L-alaninamide (FDAA) is a chiral derivatizing agent (CDA), has high enantioselectivity but low sensitivity as compared to other CDAs. It is generally used to assign the stereochemistry of amino acids in trace amounts.

Application

FDAA was used as derivatizing reagent, in a study performed to understand unusual amino acids using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (RPHPLC-ESI-MS).

Other Notes

Derivatization reagent for the assay of unusual chiral α-amino acid analogs

A high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS) method is presented that allows rapid and accurate determination of amino acid chiral purity in a peptide. Peptides are hydrolyzed in hydrochloric acid-d1/acetic acid-d4 and then converted to diastereomers by derivatization with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine

The absolute configurations of fistularin-3, 11-epi-fistularin-3, and a related bis-oxazolidinone were determined by microscale hydrolysis followed by derivatization with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-l-alaninamide.

D-Serine has recently been described to be present in the brain at high concentrations. However, while prior research has demonstrated that L-phosphoserine is the major precursor of L-serine in the brain, the possible role of D-phosphoserine as the direct precursor

Some non-protein alpha-amino acids were derivatized with 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alaninamide (Marfey's reagent, MR, FDNP-L-Ala-NH(2),) and four of its structural variants FDNP-L-Phe-NH(2), FDNP-L-Val-NH(2), FDNP-L-Leu-NH(2) and FDNP-L-Pro-NH(2). The resultant diastereomers were separated by normal and reversed phase thin layer chromatography (TLC) and reversed phase
