The loss of 60 u from protonated peptide ions containing an arginine residue at the C-terminus has been investigated by means of low energy tandem mass spectrometry. The lowest energy conformation of singly charged bradykinin is thought to involve a salt-bridge structure, which may lead to the formation of two isomeric forms. It is thought that one isomer retains the ionizing proton at the C-terminal end of the peptide, leading to the formation of the [b n?1 + H + OH]+ fragment ion, and the other isomer retains the charge at the N-terminus, leading to the formation of the [M + H ? 60]+ fragment ion. It was found that the formation of the [M + H ? 60]+ ion occurs only from singly charged precursor ions. In addition, the loss of 60 u occurs from peptides in which the charge is localized at the N-terminus. These results indicate that the mechanism of formation of the [M + H ? 60]+ ion may be driven by a charge-remote process.  相似文献

The translational energy, T, released during the loss of the angular 18- and 19-methyl groups both from metastable molecular ions and metastable [M ? H2O]+ and [M ? 2H2O]+ ions, in C(5)-unsaturated mono-and di-hydroxy steroids, as well as in their 19-nor and deuterated analogues bearing the label in the 19-methyl group, has been measured. It was found that, while the T values for the 19-CH3 loss, following the dehydration of the molecular ions, are increased substantially when compared to those for the same loss from the molecular ions, the T values for the 18-CH3 loss are increased much more moderately. Nevertheless, the amounts of translational energy released in the [M ? H2O]+˙ ? 18-CH3˙ and [M ? 2 H2O]+˙ ? 18-CH3˙ transitions are still higher than those found for the respective 19-methyl loss, in accordance with the general rule established recently.  相似文献

Mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry (MIKES) with collision-induced dissociation (CID) has been used to study the fragmentation processes of a series of deuterated 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) and deuterated 2,4,6-trinitrobenzylchloride (TNTCI) derivatives. Typical fragment ions observed in both groups were due to loss of OR′ (R′ = H or D) and NO. In TNT, additional fragment ibns are due to the loss of R2′O and 3NO2, whilst in TNTCI fragment ions are formed by the loss of OCI and R2′OCI. The TNTCI derivatives did not produce molecular ions. In chemical ionization (Cl) of both groups. MH+ ions were observed, with [M – OR′]+ fragments in TNT and [M – OCI]+ fragments in TNTCI. In negative chemical ionization (NCI) TNT derivatives produced M?′, [M–R′]?, [M–OR′]? and [M–NO]? ions, while TNTCI derivatives produced [M–R]?, [M–Cl]? and [M – NO2]? fragment ions without a molecular ion.  相似文献

The configuration at C-2 and C-4 in the molecules of 2-methyl- and 1,2-dimethyl-4-vinylethinyl(n-butyl)-4-hydroxyperhydroquinolines was determined by mass spectrometry. The principal conclusions concerning the stereochemistry were made on the basis of differences in the values of the I[M?15]+/I[M]+·, I[M?17]+/I[M]+·, I[M?43]+/I[M]+· and I[M?57]+/I[M]+· ratios in the mass spectra of the epimeric vinylethinylic alcohols, and of the I[M?15]+/I[M]+· and I[M?15]+/I[M]+· ratios in the case of the n-butylic alcohols.  相似文献

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was used to study chemical electron-transfer reactions of 1,2-diarylcyclopropanes by Cu(II) salt in acetonitrile. The ion [M ? H]+ with a hydrogen atom loss and the solvent adduct ions, [M+42]+, etc., were detected as the initial reaction products, where [M+42]+ represents the ion whose mass is 42 u greater than the parent molecule M. From the study of deuterated derivatives, the hydrogen abstraction was revealed to occur at the 3 position of the cyclopropanes, and the mechanism of the hydrogen abstraction reaction and of the solvent addition were discussed.  相似文献

A GC-MS method was developed for measuring hydroxyl-radical capture products of salicylic acid, a common trapping agent for this reactive oxygen species, in samples obtained by in vivo cerebral microdialysis experiments. The assay employed liquid–liquid extraction followed by derivatization of 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, along with 3,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid added as an internal standard. Due to their simple electron ionization mass spectra featuring [M–57]+ ions through the loss of tertiary alkyl group from the corresponding molecular ions, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) derivatives afforded straightforward method development based on selected-ion monitoring. In addition, tandem mass spectrometry probing collision-induced dissociation of [M–57]+ ions obtained from the isomeric tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives revealed characteristic differences in the resultant product-ion spectra. Our work has demonstrated the applicability of GC-MS for the assay of microdialysates for 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid by confirming that local administration of the excitotoxic glutamate into the rat striatum significantly increased in vivo hydroxyl-radical production in this brain region and that subsequent systemic administration of α-phenyl-tert-butylnitrone reversed glutamate-induced oxidative stress.  相似文献

The mechanism of water elimination from metastable molecular, [M ? CH3˙]+ and [M ? ring D]+˙ ions of epimeric 3-hydroxy steroids of the 5α-series has been elucidated. Deuterium labelling, the measurement of the translational energy released during the loss of water, and collision-induced decomposition mass-analysed kinetic energy spectrometry were the techniques used. It was found that the mechanisms of water loss from metastable M+˙ and [M ? ring D]+˙ ions is different from that from [M ? CH3˙]+ ions.  相似文献

The chemical ionization mass spectra of several hydroxy steroids were obtained using methane as the reactant gas. The spectra are much less complex than the electron ionization spectra and little fragmentation of the steroid nucleus is observed. The major fragment ions involve the loss of water from [M + H]+. A 3-keto group in the steroids was characterized by an abundant [M + C2H5]+ ion. 5α- and 5β-Dihydrotestosterone could be distinguished by their spectra, with H2 as the reactant gas by marked differences in amounts of [M + H]+, [M + H ? H2O]+ and [M + H ? 2H2O]+. Substituted 3α-X-, 17 β-ol compounds, (X = Cl, Br) were also studied to obtain relative amounts of protonation at these sites.  相似文献

The metastable ions [M]2+, [M – H]2+· and [M – H2]2+ from malononitrile fragment by loss of [CH]+, [C]+· and [C]+·, respectively. The reaction of the molecular ion involves the methylene and nitrile carbon atoms in the statistical probability ratio, while that of [M – H]2+· involves exclusively the nitrile carbon and that of [M ? H2]2+ involves an approximately equal contribution, from both sources. It is suggested that the metastable molecular ion fragments through a bipyrimidal intermediate.  相似文献

The major metal-containing species formed upon fast atom bombardment of amino acid/Ni+2 mixtures is the [M + Ni]+ adduct, involving reduction of the Ni+2 to the +1 oxidation state. By contrast, electrospray ionization of amino acid/Ni+2 mixtures produces predominantly [Ni(M ? H)M]+; this species, on collisional activation, produces predominantly [M + Ni]+ by elimination of [M - H], presumably a carboxylate radical. The unimolecular fragmentation reactions occurring on the metastable ion time scale for the [M + Ni]+ adducts of a variety of α-amino acids have been recorded. The adducts with phenylalanine, α-aminoisobutyric acid and α-aminobutyric acid fragment by elimination of H2O, H2O + CO and, to a minor extent, by elimination of CO2. These reactions are similar to those observed for the [M + Cu]+ adducts of α-amino acids. A reaction distinctive for the [M + Ni]+ adducts involves formation of the immonium ion RCH=NH 2 + . By contrast, the [M + Ni]+ adducts with leucine, isoleucine, and norleucine show extensive metastable ion fragmentation by elimination of H2, CH4, C2H4, C3H6, and C4H8, with the relative importance of the different fragmentation channels depending on the configuration of the C4H9 side chain. These results are interpreted in terms of C-C and C-H bond activation of the C4H9 side chain by the Ni+. The adducts with valine and norvaline fragment in a fashion similar to the adduct with phenylalanine, except that minor elimination of C3H6 is observed.  相似文献

Experimental and theoretical studies on the oxidation of saturated hydrocarbons (n‐hexane, cyclohexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane and isooctane) and ethanol in 28 Torr O2 or air plasma generated by a hollow cathode discharge ion source were made. Ions corresponding to [M + 15]+ and [M + 13]+ in addition to [M ? H]+ and [M ? 3H]+ were detected as major ions where M is the sample molecule. The ions [M + 15]+ and [M + 13]+ were assigned as oxidation products, [M ? H + O]+ and [M ? 3H + O]+, respectively. By the tandem mass spectrometry analysis of [M ? H + O]+ and [M ? 3H + O]+, H2O, olefins (and/or cycloalkanes) and oxygen‐containing compounds were eliminated from these ions. Ozone as one of the terminal products in the O2 plasma was postulated as the oxidizing reagent. As an example, the reactions of C6H14+? with O2 and of C6H13+ (CH3CH2CH+CH2CH2CH3) with ozone were examined by density functional theory calculations. Nucleophilic interaction of ozone with C6H13+ leads to the formation of protonated ketone, CH3CH2C(=OH+)CH2CH2CH3. In air plasma, [M ? H + O]+ became predominant over carbocations, [M ? H]+ and [M ? 3H]+. For ethanol, the protonated acetic acid CH3C(OH)2+ (m/z 61.03) was formed as the oxidation product. The peaks at m/z 75.04 and 75.08 are assigned as protonated ethyl formate and protonated diethyl ether, respectively, and that at m/z 89.06 as protonated ethyl acetate.

The laser desorption mass spectrometry of the oxocarbon squaric acid (3,4-dihydroxy-3-cyclobutene-1,2-dione) and its salts of the form A2C4O4 (A = cation) is described. Both positive and negative ion spectra were obtained. The positive ion spectrum of the acid is characterized by an ion corresponding to loss of CO from [M + H]+. The negative ion spectrum shows an intense [M ? H]? peak in addition to a dimer species. The alkali salt spectra contain [M + A]+ in the positive mode and [M ? A]? and an intense [C4HO4]? in the negative mode. The smaller alkali salts also have an [M + H]+ adduct ion. Unlike the alkali squarates, the ammonium salt shows ions corresponding to losses of neutrals from the molecular adduct in the positive ion spectrum and a dimer species in the negative ion spectrum. Molecular weight information was obtained in all cases. A (bis) dicyanomethylene derivative of potassium squarate was also studied. Some field desorption mass spectrometry results are presented for comparison.  相似文献

For identification of ginsenoside enantiomers, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) was used to generate silver complexes of the type [ginsenoside + Ag]+. Collision induced dissociation of the silver‐ginsenoside complexes produced fragment ions by dehydration, allowing differentiation of ginsenoside enantiomers by the intensity of [M + Ag ? H2O]+ ion. In the meanwhile, an approach based on the distinct profiles of enantiomer‐selective fragment ion intensity varied with collision energy was introduced to refine the identification and quantitation of ginsenoside enantiomers. Five pairs of enantiomeric ginsenosides were distinguished and quantified on the basis of the distribution of fragment ion [M + Ag ? H2O]+. This method was also extended to the identification of other type of ginsenoside isomers such as ginsenoside Rb2 and Rb3. For demonstrating the practicability of this novel approach, it was utilized to analyze the molar ratio of 20‐(S) and 20‐(R) type enantiomeric ginsenosides in enantiomer mixture in red ginseng extract. The generation of characteristic fragment ion [M + Ag ? H2O]+ likely results from the reduction of potential energy barrier of dehydration because of the catalysis of silver ion. The mechanism of enantiomer identification of ginsenosides was discussed from the aspects of computational modeling and internal energy. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

The mass spectra of a series of β-ketosilanes, p-Y? C6H4Me2SiCH2C(O)Me and their isomeric silyl enol ethers, p-Y? C6H4Me2SiOC(CH3)?CH2, where Y = H, Me, MeO, Cl, F and CF3, have been recorded. The fragmentation patterns for the β-ketosilanes are very similar to those of their silyl enol ether counterparts. The seven major primary fragment ions are [M? Me·]+, [M? C6H4Y·]+, [M? Me2SiO]+˙, [M? C3H4]+˙, [M? HC?CCF3]+˙, [Me2SiOH]+˙ and [C3H6O]+˙ Apparently, upon electron bombardment the β-ketosilanes must undergo rearrangement to an ion structure very similar to that of the ionized silyl enol ethers followed by unimolecular ion decompositions. Substitutions on the benzene ring show a significant effect on the formation of the ions [M? Me2SiO]+˙ and [Me2SiOH]+˙, electron donating groups favoring the former and electron withdrawing groups favoring the latter. The mass spectral fragmentation pathways were identified by observing metastable peaks, metastable ion mass spectra and ion kinetic energy spectra.  相似文献

Collision-induced dissociation mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and translational energy release studies have established that provitamin D3 (7-dehydrocholesterol), provitamin D2 (ergosterol), vitamin D3 and vitamin D2 isomerizations in the mass spectrometer occur at the fragment ion level leading to [M? H2O? CH3]+ ions of identical structure. It was found that the reaction, [M]+˙→[M? H2O]+˙, plays a central role in these isomerizations.  相似文献

The decomposing molecular cations derived from (substituted) 2-nitrothiobenzamides fragment by complex rearrangement reactions. When the alkyl substituents (R) attached to N are methyl, the major fragmentations are [M]+˙ → [M? SO] and [M? SO] → [(M? SO)–R˙]+. This remains a basic pathway when R ? Et, but other rearrangements are also observed. For example, when R=Et, additional competitive processes are [M] → [M? HO˙]+ and [M] → [M? C2H4O]+˙.  相似文献

Mass spectra of isotope-labeled triptycenes, triphenylmethanes and diphenylmethanes rule out the bulk of postulated decomposition mechanisms and fragment-ion structures. The formation of [M ? H]+ and [M ? 2H]2+ from triptycene, of [M ? H]+, [M ? CH3]+ and [M ? CH4]+ from triphenylmethane, and of [M ? H]2+ and [M ? 2H]2+-as well as the previously reported [M ? H]+ and [M ? CH3]+-from diphenylmethane all seem to be preceded or accompanied by complete loss of position identity of the α and ring hydrogens in the original molecules. A statistical preference for loss of α hydrogens is found in the process leading to [M ? 2H]+ and [M ? H]2+ from triptycene, as in the formation of [M ? H]2+ from toluene.  相似文献

Cyclic polysulfides isolated from higher plants, model compounds and their electron impact induced fragment ions have been investigated by various mass spectrometric methods. These species represent three sets of sulfur compounds: C3H6Sx (x=1?6), C2H4Sx (x=1?5) and CH2Sx (x=1?4). Three general fragmentation mechanisms are discussed using metastable transitions: (1) the unimolecular loss of structural parts (CH2S, CH2 and Sx); (2) fragmentations which involve ring opening reactions, hydrogen migrations and recyclizations of the product ions ([M? CH3]+, [M? CH3S]+, [M? SH]+ and [M? CS2]); and (3) complete rearrangements preceding the fragmentations ([M? S2H]+ and [M? C2H4]). The cyclic structures of [M] and of specific fragment ions have been investigated by comparing the collisional activation spectra of model ions. On the basis of these results the cyclic ions decompose via linear intermediates and then recyclizations of the product ions occur. The stabilities of the fragment ions have been determined by electron efficiency vs electron energy curves.  相似文献

High-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS), hybrid tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) (EBqQ), and photoelectron-photoion coincidence (PEPICO) experiments were conducted to examine a possible ortho-ortho effect resulting in a novel [M - 35]+ fragment ion in 2-alkyl-4, 6-dinitrophenols. For compounds having ethyl or larger alkyl substituents, [M35]+ was observed only when [M - 18]+ ions were present, with the ortho nitro group being involved in the reaction to [M- 35]+. For [M - 18]+ and [M - 35]+, HRMS results were consistent with losses of H2O and H2O + OH, respectively, whereas MS/MS results indicated a sequential reaction due to metastable dissociations. The appearance energy determined by PEPICO for [M - 35]+ was found to be greater than the appearance energy for [M - 18]+, thus supporting a sequential reaction. 69–75).  相似文献

A study of the electron ionization mass spectra of certain azadispiro(5.1.5.2)pentadec-9-ene-7,15-diones and azadispiro(4.1.4.2)tridec-8-ene-6,13-diones and their derivatives has revealed that these molecules undergo fragmentation primarily by two routes, viz. loss of CO and elimination of the substituent on the pyrrolidine nitrogen. Under positive ionization conditions loss of CO is the predominant process in the diones as it releases the ring strain, while in the 6- or 7-ols loss of the substituent on nitrogen is the favoured pathway. The further decomposition pathways of these primary fragments [M ? CO]+˙ and [M ? OR3]+ have been delineated with the help of high-resolution mass measurements, D2O exchange and metastable spectra, These compounds give very simple negative ion spectra showing only [M ? OR3]? and [NCO]? ions except the N-hydroxy compounds which show [M ? H]? ions as well.  相似文献
