The presence of dansyl or dabsyl chromogenic moieties in a solid-phase analytical construct, an assembly of linkers/spacers/sensitizers for improving analytical characterization, allows the accurate estimation of products from solid-phase synthesis by UV detection during liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis in the cleavage solution. The spectroscopic properties of dansylated molecules have been evaluated to verify the "compound-independent UV absorption" necessary for using the chromophore in the accurate estimation. First, measurements on commercial dansylated compounds were made, then a series of construct-like molecules were prepared by solution-phase synthetic procedures and their UV properties were determined. Compound calibration curves were determined, and UV absorption was shown to be both proportional to the compound concentration and compound-independent. An example of a dansyl construct derivative was then prepared on a polymeric matrix, and an accurate estimation using the calibration curves was carried out in the cleavage solution. Good agreement was found between the calculated amount of released compound using the UV calibration curves and the calculated amount using both (1)H NMR and LC/chemiluminescent nitrogen detection quantitative techniques. Preliminary studies using the dabsyl moiety as an improved chromophore with higher wavelength and extinction coefficient are also reported.
