Mass spectrometry of alditols as trimethylsilyl derivatives
نویسندگان
چکیده
The trimethylsilyl ethers of alditols with 3, 4, 5 and 6 carbon atoms were investigated. The mass spectra are unusually clearly correlated with the structures. The predominant fragmentations are cleavages in the carbon chain and rearrangement loss of trimethylsilanol. The spectra are closely related to those of the methyl ethers. A spectrum unambiguously identifies a compound as an alditol and permits the determination of its molecular weight.

Formation of multiple trimethylsilyl derivatives in the derivatization of 17alpha-ethinylestradiol with BSTFA or MSTFA followed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry determination.
N,O-bis(trimethylsily)trifluoroacetamide (BSTFA) and N-methyl-N(trimethylsily) trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) are common derivatization reagents used in the GC-MS analysis of estrogen steroids such as estrone (El) and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2). In this study, three trimethylsilyl (TMS) steroid derivatives, mono- and di-trimethylsilyl EE2 and mono-trimethylsilyl E1, were observed during the der...
متن کاملAnalysis of Carbohydrates Obtained from Wood by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
The aim of this study was the development and validation of a new method for carbohydrates analyses obtained from woody biomass, as a step of bioethanol production. In this study, we have quantified carbohydrates in wood by gas chromatography (GC) after derivatization. Quantification of carbohydrates was made by liquid-liquid extraction, oximation and silylation and, finally, analysis by gas ch...
متن کاملDetermination of testosterone:epitestosterone ratio after pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl-trimethylsilyl derivatisation using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in equine urine.
A highly specific method is described for measuring the testosterone:epitestosterone ratio in equine urine by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with stable isotope internal standards. The procedure was based on Serdolit Pad-1 resin extraction, enzymatic hydrolysis, and chemical derivatisation prior to instrumental analysis. The mixed derivatives, 3-trimethylsilyl-17-pentafluorophenyl...
متن کاملArtifacts in trimethylsilyl derivatization reactions and ways to avoid them.
Trimethylsilyl derivatives are routinely employed in gas chromatography to increase the volatility and stability of organic compounds containing active hydrogens. Normally only the desired derivative is formed when organic compounds are derivatized with common silylation reagents. However, some compounds form additional unexpected derivatives or by-products (artifacts). Artifact formation leads...
