Several ethyl pyruvate and dihydrocinchonidine adducts, formed by non-covalent interactions with alkali cations, have been identified for the first time using electrospray ionization mass and tandem mass spectrometry. This type of adduct may have an important role in asymmetric reactions of pyruvate

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The reactions of ethyl pyruvate with acetic anhydride and pyridine were studied by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). Ethyl 2‐acetoxy‐2‐pyridiniumpropionate (1) (m/z 238) resulting from the reaction of the acetylpyridinium cation with ethyl pyruvate, and the adduct of ethyl 2‐acetoxyacrylate with a pyridinium cation (2), bound together by non‐covalent interactions (m/z 238), were identified by ESI‐MS for the first time. Structures 1 and 2 cannot be distinguished, probably because one may be converted into the other and vice versa. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
