Abstract

Two new pyranoanthocyanin amino derivatives with extended electronic delocalization were obtained from the reaction of methyl­pyranomalvidin-3-O-glucoside with two amino-derived cinnamaldehydes, 4-(dimethylamino)- and 4-(diethylamino)-cinnamaldehyde. Structural characterization revealed the presence of a butadienylidene linkage connecting the pyranoanthocyanin and the cinnamyl moieties. The unexpected red color presented by the new molecules is due to the presence of a dicationic form of the pigments at acidic pH as confirmed by ESI–MS.

  • 13 LC/DAD–MS analysis was carried out on a Finnigan Surveyor series liquid chromatograph, equipped with a 150 × 4.6 mm i.d., 5 mm LicroCART® reverse-phase C18 column. Mass detection was carried out by a Finnigan LCQ DECA XP MAX (Finnigan Corp., San José, Calif., USA) mass detector with an API (Atmospheric Pressure Ionization) source of ionization and an ESI (ElectroSpray Ionization) interface. The solvents used were A: H2O–HCOOH (99:1), and B: HCOOH–H2O–MeCN (0.5:19.5:80). The HPLC gradient consisted of 20–85% B for 70 min at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The column was washed with 100% B for 20 min and then stabilized with the initial conditions for another 20 min. The capillary voltage and temperature were 4 V and 325 °C, respectively. Spectra were recorded in positive ion mode between m/z = 300 and m/z = 1500. The mass spectrometer was programmed to carry out a series of three scans: a full mass, a zoom scan of the most intense ion in the first scan, and a MS–MS of the most intense ion using relative collision energy of 30 V and 60 V.
