Ortho Substituent

The mass spectra of several substituted 2-benzylidenecyclohexanone oximes have been determined at 70 eV and at lower ionization voltages. The major fragmentation pathways for the oximes are loss of the ortho substituent from the parent ion as well as loss of hydroxyl radical. The facility of loss of the ortho substituent is compared with a similar process involved in the fragmentation of substituted 2-benzylidenecyclohexanones. In addition, the mass spectrum of the acetate of 2-benzylidenecyclohexanone oxime was determined and showed a M – 1 peak and also a peak corresponding to the parent oxime formed by loss of ketene.

Ortho Substituent

The mass spectra of several ring substituted acyclic styryl ketoximes and analogous ketones have been determined at 70 eV and also at low ionization voltages. The major fragmentation pathways for the oximes are loss of the ortho substituent from the parent ion as well as loss of the hydroxyl and hydroxylamine radicals. Other fragmentation pathways include γ- and δ-cleavages as well as the McLafferty rearrangement. While there was a total absence of α-cleavage from the parent ions, the facility of loss of the ortho substituents from the oxime molecular ions was compared with the same process occurring in the corresponding acyclic ketones, as well as the related cyclic derivatives, namely the substituted 2-benzylidinecyclohexanones and oximes. Stabilization of the resultant cyclized ion as well as steric factors are considered as factors favouring the cyclization process.

Ortho Substituent

The mass spectra of a series of some substituted 2-benzylidenecyclohexanones and a series of substituted 2,6-bis-benzylidenecyclohexanones have been determined at 70 eV. The major fragmentation pathways include an intramolecular aromatic substitution reaction leading to the loss of an ortho-substituent with the formation of a stable benzopyrylium ion, loss of carbon monoxide and ethylene from the parent ion and also further ions derived from subsequent cleavages of the cyclohexanone ring. The structural and electronic factors involved in the aromatic substitution reaction were examined by comparing the M – H/M and M – Cl/M ratios determined from the spectra of the various substrates.

Electron ionisation (EI) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectral fragmentations of nine 2,4-(and 2,1-) disubstituted o-( m- and p-)nitro-(chloro- and bromo-)-2-thiocytosinium halides are investigated. Fragmentation pathways, whose elucidation is assisted by accurate mass measurements and metastable transitions [EI-mass spectrometry (MS)], as well as FAB/collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra measurements are discussed. The correlations between the abundances of the (C11H10N4SO2)+1–3; (C11H10N3SCl)+4–6 and (C11H10N3SBr)+7–9 ions and the selected fragment ions (EI-MS), as well as (C18H16N5SO4)+1–3; (C18H16N3SCl2)+4–6 and (C18H16N3SBr2) + 7–9 ions and the selected ions (C7H6NO2)+1–3; (C7H6Cl)+ 4–6; (C7H6Br)+ 7–9 (FAB-MS) are discussed. The data obtained can be used for distinguishing isomers.

Mass spectrometry is used to evaluate the occurrence of the nitrile-ketenimine tautomerism. Mass spectra of two differently substituted nitriles, ethyl-4,4-dicyano-3-methyl-3-butenoate and diethyl-2-cyano-3-methyl-2-pentenodiate are examined looking for common mass spectral behaviors. Ion fragmentation assignments for specific tautomers allow to predict the presence of the corresponding structures. Additionally, the mass spectrum and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of ethyl-4,4-dicyano-2,2-diethyl-3-methyl-3-butenoate and that of the corresponding amination product support the occurrence of the ketenimine tautomer in the equilibrium.

Hydrogenobalam in (metal-free vitamin B12) and cupribalamin are characterized by their fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra which show molecular ion and characteristic fragment ion peaks. These spectra and the high-resolution FAB mass spectrum of cobalamin (vitamin B12) show that the (M+H)+-CN-59 peak for the latter is due to loss of acetamide and not of the central cobalt atom. In the FAB mass spectrum of cupribalamin metal clusters are observed

Positive and negative ion fast atom bombardment ( f.a.b .) mass spectrometry were found to be useful methods for the analysis and structural characterization of five Nα-(t- butoxycarbonyl )-O-( diorganylphosphono )-L- serines ( organyl = Ph, Et, Me, Bzl , But), especially in the case of the sensitive benzyl and t-butyl phosphono derivatives. Under positive ion operating conditions, high intensity pseudo-molecular ions were obtained in the f.a.b . mass spectra, and the fragmentation pathway of the phenyl, ethyl and methyl derivatives was established by parent/daughter linked scanning studies to involve (a) the two-step loss of the t- butoxycarbonyl group, (b) loss of the amino acid as the neutral fragment from the [MH]+, [MH-56]+, [MH-100]+ and [MH-146]+ ions by a four- centred β-elimination rearrangement, and (c) cleavage of the phosphono phenyl and ethyl groups from only the [(RO)2P(OH)2]+ and [NH=CHCH2PO3R2+H]+ fragments. Parent/daughter linked scanning studies of the benzyl derivative showed that the prominent fragmentation involved loss of the benzyl group as the tropylium ion and that the 'apparent' [MH-90]+ peak observed in its f.a.b. mass spectrum resulted from cleavage of the phosphono benzyl group in the matrix during the bombardment process. In the case of the t-butyl derivative, parent/daughter linked scanning studies showed that the prominent fragmentation involved successive 'in-flight' loss of the phosphono t-butyl groups as isobutene. Negative ion f.a.b. mass spectrometry of the five derivatives gave f.a.b. mass spectra which displayed distinct [M-H]- anions along with high intensity [M-H-R]- and [(RO)2PO2]- fragment anions, the f.a.b . mass spectrum of the t-butyl derivative containing an additional [M-H-But-But]- fragment anion. Parent/daughter linked scanning studies established that the majority of the observed fragment anions resulted from extensive fragmentation of the Boc -Ser(PO3R2)-OH derivatives in the matrix phase followed by sputtering of the resultant fragments into the gas phase. In addition, positive ion f.a.b . mass spectrometry was found to be useful for the analysis of a series of protected O-( diorganylphosphono ) seryl-containing dipeptides and tripeptides ( organyl = Ph, Et, Me, Bzl ). The obtained spectra showed that β-elimination fragmentation of the Ser(PO3R2) residue was more pronounced with the tripeptide series and indicated that there was increased sensitivity of the O-( diorganylphosphono ) seryl residue with replacement of the Boc group by an amino acyl residue at its N-terminus.

Mass Spectral

The mass spectral fragmentation pathways of a series of phenylazoxypyridine-N-oxides have been studied under electron impact conditions using tandem mass spectrometry. Besides simple C—N cleavages, the azoxypyridine-N-oxides undergo deep-seated rearrangements directly from the molecular ion. In addition, the spectra are complicated by a purely chemical reduction of the N—O functionalities that occurs in the ion source prior to ionization.

The mass spectra of a series of nuclear substituted styryl ketones with the structure[Formula: see text]and several relaTed compounds have been determined. The major fragmentation pathways include such processes as an aromatic substitution reaction occurring in the molecular ion as well as the McLafferty rearrangement. Only one of the two possible α-cleavages at the carbonyl function was observed. The major decomposition processes are outlined and compared with the recent results of a study on α,β-unsaturated aliphatic ketones. Mechanistic pathways are suggested for the formation of the major fragment ions.

Fragmentation Patterns

The chemical ionization mass spectra of a series of tricyclic flavanoid compounds have been examined using isobutane and hydrogen as reagent gases and the fragmen- tation modes have been correlated systematically in terms of structure. The technique produces simple fragmentation patterns and abundant metastable ions. The use of deuterium as reagent gas reveals the influence of extraneous water on the spectra and facilitates the interpretation of the fragmentation pathways. The fragment ions appear to arise from isomeric progenitors protonated at different sites in the molecules.

Resolution Data

The trifluoroacetyl derivatives of the 2,5-diketopiperazines cyclo-(-Gly-X), cyclo-(-Ala-X) (X = Gly, Val, Leu, Ile), and cyclo-(-Ala-Ala) were examined by GC–MS. The molecular ion was readily detectable only for TFA-cyclo-(-Gly-Gly) (m/e 306, 9%). For those compounds containing a valyl or leucyl/isoleucyl residue the ion of highest mass in the spectrum was formed by elimination of C3H6 or C4H8, respectively, from the molecular ion. In the TFA-cyclo-(-Gly-X) series this ion corresponded to the molecular ion of TFA-cyclo-(Gly-Gly) (m/e 306), and in the TFA-cyclo-(-Ala-X) series, to the molecular ion of TFA-cyclo-(-Ala-Gly) (m/e 320). The fragmentation patterns proposed for these compounds are based on the further degradation of these parent ions so that each compound within a series has a similar mass spectrum. However, sufficient differences were detectable in the various spectra to permit identification of the individual DKP's.Many of the fragmentation pathways devised to explain the mass spectra were supported by high resolution data and appropriate metastable ions.
