A novel strategy for the ESI-MS monitoring of reaction solutions involving the alternate use of permanently charge-tagged reagents has been used for comprehensive mass spectrometry monitoring of the multicomponent Hantzsch 1,4-dihydropyridine reaction. By placing a charge tag on either, or both, of the two key reactants, ion suppression effects for ESI were eliminated or minimized, and comprehensive detection of charge-tagged intermediates was achieved. The strategy allowed the trapping and characterization of the important intermediates in the mechanism for 1,4-dihydropyridine formation.
