Abstract
Cu(I) catalyzed alkyne-azide cycloaddition reaction was employed to synthesize a series of anthracene-based human thymidylate synthase (hTS) inhibitor analogues. The triazolo-anthracene derivatives were characterized by ESI-MS/MS and a novel rearrangement reaction in ESI-MS/MS was observed. The mechanism is proposed whereby the protonated triazolo-anthracene derivative forms a carbocation, and then the carbocation electrophilically attacks an anthracene moiety resulting in formation of a rearrangement ion. Moreover, the carbocation prefers to attack the gamma position rather than the alpha or beta position of the anthracene moiety by an electrophilic substitution mechanism.
