Abstract
A carboxyl-selective fluorescence label, 9H-fluoren-2-yl-diaxomethane (FDAM, 6) for the detection of carhoxyl groups specifically in polysaccharides and low-molecular weight carbohydrates has been developed. Attached in apre-column derivatization step, the label allows detection of minute amounts of oxidized functionalities in oligosaccharides and cellulosics under the relatively harsh conditions of GPC separation in the DMAc/LiCl eluant and without any fluorescence interference with light scattering (MALLS) detection, so that carboxyl profiles of polysaccharides were obtained for the first time. Synthetic carbohydrate model compounds (1-3) were used to optimize the labeling reaction.
