Abstract:
Nitrocarboxylic acid esters and nitroalcohols react with trimethylsilyl cation in the gas phase under conditions of chemical ionization to form stable [M+SiMe3]+ ions. The pathways of their fragmentation were established and characteristic distinctions in the mass spectra caused by mutual arrangement of functional groups were found.
