Application

2-Ethylhexanoyl chloride was used in the preparation of 4-aza-6-ethyl-4-(2-ethylhexanoyloxy)-5-oxodecyl 2,3, 4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-l-thio-β-D glucopyranoside. It was also used in the preparation of poly(4,8-bis-alkyloxybenzo(1,2-b:4,5-b′)dithiophene-2,6-diyl-alt-(alkyl thieno(3,4-b)thiophene-2-carboxylate)-2,6-diyl), having very promising photovoltaic properties.

While selectively quantifying acylcarnitines in thousands of patient samples using UHPLC-MS/MS, we have occasionally observed unidentified branched-chain C8 acylcarnitines. Such observations are not possible using tandem MS methods, which generate pseudo-quantitative acylcarnitine "profiles". Since these "profiles" select for mass alone
