Abstract
Aqueous mixtures of formaldehyde and glutathione react to form a variety of cyclized adducts in addition to S-hydroxymethylglutathione. The adducts are in labile equilibrium with each other and are not readily separated. The structures of two of the other major adducts were determined by concerted application of 13C-1H two-dimensional chemical-shift correlation, fast-atom-bombardment mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry to the adduct mixtures in aqueous solution.
