In an attempt to develop more sensitive and versatile methods for the structure analysis of oligosaccharides derived from lipooligosaccharides (LOS) of gram-negative bacteria, amino and hydrazino alkyl benzoate derivatives were prepared. These oligosaccharide derivatives were separated by HPLC and then analyzed by liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry (LSIMS). Both the amino and hydrazino alkyl benzoates react with the free reducing termini of acid-treated LOS, increasing the hydrophobicity of the released oligosaccharides and allowing them to be separated by reverse-phase HPLC. In addition, these oligosaccharide derivatives now contain a sensitive uv chromophore for subsequent peak detection and improve the quality of the LSIMS spectra compared to underivatized oligosaccharides. However, the amino alkyl benzoates reacted poorly compared to the analogous hydrazino alkyl benzoates with 3-deoxy-manno-2-keto octulosonic acid (KDO), and oligosaccharides with KDO at the reducing terminus, especially when the oligosaccharide also contained phosphoethanolamine. Derivatization with the hydrazino compounds can be carried out quickly and under mild conditions using a minimal amount of reagent, and is therefore suitable for microscale analyses. The chromatographic and mass spectrometric characteristics of these derivatives make them excellent alternatives to permethylation and peracetylation techniques for the structural analysis of complex bacterial oligosaccharides derived from glycolipids.
