With permission Reaction Analytics Inc. 2011 Page 8 Choose a Wavelength Using the Batch Analysis up/down arrows and Spectra buttons try and find a reaction with both your SM and Product. Use the UV DAD spectra to choose an appropriate wavelength in which both SM and P absorb well and are in correlation of MS peaks (assuming ionizable centre of molecule is not greatly changed). What would be an appropriate wavelength for this reaction mixture? mau SM *DAD1, 0.286 (2000 mau, - ) Ref=0.279 & 0.303 of 2EB-0201.D mau Product *DAD1, 0.398 (282 mau, - ) Ref=0.380 & 0.413 of 2EB-0201.D 1750 250 1500 200 1250 1000 150 750 100 500 250 50 0 0 200 225 250 275 300 325 350 375 nm 200 225 250 275 300 325 350 375 nm

With permission Reaction Analytics Inc. 2011 Page 11 To simplify analysis we now need to label peaks of interest Agilent Offline Chemstation > Calibration > Calibration Table Press add peak button Press OK (not relevant) Select peak on UV spectra Enter peak name using nomenclature Name MWXX+ve i.e. SM MW158+ve Add all peaks by perusing data using Batch Analysis up/down arrows Labeling Peaks Important : No peaks should have the same name.
With permission Reaction Analytics Inc. 2011 Page 12 Labeling Peaks 2 You should label all peaks of interest, even ones that you may want to remove from %Area calculations, such as ligands and Toluene In some cases you may wish to extract a particular mass ion, for a SM or product. The advantage of doing so is that a plot of % Area of Product vs. Mass Ion Count of Product removes false hits. Examples include -: Co-eluting UV peaks that cause over-representation of product Degraded reaction mixtures that suggest high % Areas of product but absolute yields are low
