The possibility of using a number of aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids and their halogen anhydrides as reactive matrix compounds for the analysis of alcohols of different structures by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry has been studied. It is shown that acylation of alcohols with nicotinic and quinoline-6-carboxylic acid chlorides makes it possible to obtain derivatives having a high desorption/ionization efficiency under MALDI conditions, and the free acids formed as a result of the hydrolysis of anhydrides act as matrix compounds. The proposed approach is tested on a number of aliphatic, alicyclic and aromatic alcohols.

Simple and suitable approach for post-chromatographic derivatization in the analysis of mixtures of alcohols and phenols by combination of thin-layer chromatography and MALDI mass spectrometry was suggested for the first time. Chemical modification of analytes was accomplished by the treatment of eluted zones on thin-layer chromatograms by 3-bromopropionyl chloride in the presence of excess of a base (pyridine or triethylamine). The resulting derivatives contained a residue with fixed charge (ammonium fragment) that provided an efficient desorption of derivatized analytes from the sorbent layer during MALDI. It was shown that the suggested approach allows the recording of mass spectra with high signal/noise ratio and the detection of alcohols and phenols of different structures. Reproducibility of such MALDI mass spectra is rather high which predetermines a possibility to build the chromatogram curves using total or selected ion current and, hence, their visualization and treatment on quantitative level.
