Paper spray ionization mass spectrometry (PS-MS) is employed herein as a convenient platform to investigate an on-surface catalytic process, that is, the oxidation of alcohols induced by ruthenium salts. The tag-charged benzyl alcohol 1 (m/z 166), used as a suitable prototype starting substrate, is quickly oxidized by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) in an on-surface process catalyzed by ruthenium trichloride (RuCl3). The PS(+)-MS revealed the formation of products from the oxidation of alcohol 1. RuCl3 and TBHP played a crucial role in this process since when salts of other metals (platinum, palladium, and iron) and another oxidizing agent (hydrogen peroxide) are employed, no reaction is observed. Moreover, UV radiation and heating accelerate the on-surface alcohol 1 oxidation. Finally, an exciting possibility is to employ PS-MS to investigate similar organic catalytic reactions to accelerate them and detect unstable intermediates, indiscernible in the condensed phase.
