Abstract

A mass spectrometric method for determining the position of unsaturation in a compound is disclosed.

Claims (6)

1. A method for determining the position of a double bond in a compound of the general formula M 1 -(CH═CH)-M 2 , wherein M 1 and M 2 independently represent any organic residue, the method comprising:

(i) ionizing the compound to provide ions;

(ii) selecting ions of a given mass-to-charge ratio;

(iii) allowing the selected ions to react with ozone to give ozone induced fragment ions;

(iv) mass analysis and detection of the ozone induced fragment ions formed in step (iii); and

(v) determining the position of the double bond in the compound based on the relative masses of M 1 and M 2 .
