“…These include p ‐ N , N , N ‐trimethylaminoaninyl‐ N '‐hydroxysuccinimidyl carbomate iodide (TAHS) (Shimbo et al ., 2009a), 3‐aminopyridyl‐N‐hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (APDS) (Shimbo et al ., 2009b) for amines, 2‐hydrazino‐1‐methylpyridine (HMP) (Higashi et al ., 2005a), 4‐[2‐( N , N ‐dimethylamino)ethylaminosulfonyl]‐7‐ N ‐methylhydrazino‐2,1,3‐benzoxadiazole (DAABD‐MHz) (Santa et al ., 2008) for ketones, isonicotinoyl azide (NA) (Higashi et al ., 2007) for alcohols, dansyl chloride for phenols and 4‐[2‐( N , N ‐dimethylamino)ethylaminosulfonyl]‐7‐(2‐aminoethylamino)‐2,1,3‐benzoxadiazole (DAABD‐AE) for carboxylic acids (Al‐Dirbashi et al ., 2008; Santa et al, 2007b; Tsukamoto et al ., 2005). In the previous paper, we reported that the compounds with a thiourea structure, generated by the reaction of amines with isothiocyanates, afforded a particular product ion efficiently by CID and were suitable for the MS/MS detection (Santa, 2010).…”
