The fragmentation behavior of six tetracyclic 2,3-dihydro-1,5-benzothiazepine derivatives cationized with protons and silver ions under post-source decay (PSD) matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) conditions is reported. The protonated adduct ions decompose into several structurally important fragment ions, including substituted cyclopropane and benzohydrothiazole cations. Elimination of Ag and H and/or AgH from the silver-cationized adduct ions of these ([M+Ag]+) compounds was observed. It was also found that [M+Ag]+ produced silver-depleted fragment ions exclusively. Based on the PSD results a fragmentation pathway is proposed for the [M+H]+ and [M+Ag]+ precursor ions. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]

Abstract Fragmentation mechanisms of electron ionization (EI) mass spectrometry of the title compounds have been elucidated by high-resolution (HR) mass spectrometric measurements of the elemental composition and measurements of the metastable transitions (B2/E, CID). The experimental results were interpreted with the help of Mass Frontier 3.0 software, which aided the elucidation of fragmentation mechanisms and helped to deduce structures of the ions formed. Characteristic under the conditions of EI-MS measurement was the production of protonated adducts. Three distinct pathways observed include the formation of oxonium type ions, the conjugated transfer of electrons in the pyranose ring, and cleavage of the acylamide side chains. By applying the results obtained, the molecular mass, as well as the structures of both the saccharide and acylamide side chain involved in related substances, can be determined.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometric study of end-groups in peroxydicarbonate-initiated radical polymerization

Abstract Initiation by diethyl peroxydicarbonate (E-PDC), di- n -tetradecyl peroxydicarbonate (nTD-PDC), di- n -hexadecyl peroxydicarbonate (nHD-PDC), and di-2-ethylhexyl peroxydicarbonate (2EH-PDC) of free-radical polymerizations of methyl methacrylate in benzene solution was studied by end-group analysis via electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Unambiguous assignment of ESI-MS peaks allows for identification of the type of radical that starts chain growth. In case of initiation by dialkyl peroxydicarbonates with linear alkyl groups, almost exclusively alkoxy carbonyloxyl species, which are the primary fragments from initiator decomposition, occur as end-groups. With 2EH-PDC, however, both the primary 2-ethylhexoxy carbonyloxyl fragment and a second moiety, which is formed by decarboxylation of the 2-ethylhexoxy carbonyloxyl radical, are clearly observed as end-groups. The decarboxylation process is described by a concerted mechanism which involves a 1,5-hydrogen shift reaction. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
