Elucidation of O-Phosphoryl and N-Phosphoryl Amino Acids by Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectroscopic characteristics of phosphoryl amino acids were studied in detail by positive and negative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Besides N-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl amino acids (N-DIPP-AA), O-phospho- and O-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl amino acids (O-DIPP-AA) were studied and compared to N-DIPP-AA.

Studies on Fragmentation Regularity of 5-Methoxycarbonyl-4-substit uted-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2（1H）-ones by Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry

The electron impact time-of-flight(TOF) mass spectra of the title compounds were studied to establish their fragmentation processes. With the high resolution of the TOF instrument, the exact mass for each fragment was determined. These data were used to infer the molecular formulas and the elemental compositions for all the molecular ions and fragments through software interpretation. By further applying the fragmentation regularity, the majority of ions were fully assigned. The main fragmentation pathways of the title compounds include the formation of molecular ions by the loss of R^1 groups in the 4-position and the ester groups in the 5-position. The formed ion can be further fragmented by the elimination of MeOH.

Understanding the Fragmentation Pathways of Carbocyclic Derivatives of Amino Acids by Using Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Aminoacyl derivatives of aminoadamantanes amantadine and rimantadine have been investigated in regard to their antiviral properties. So far, few studies on the mass spectrometric fragmentation pathway of these compounds have been reported using high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). Two major fragmentation pathways have been observed. For the rimantadine derivatives, losses of rimantadine and N-(1-adamantyl) ethylformamide were described.

Understanding the fragmentation mechanism can bring new insight into the characterization of these compounds.
