With the use of the GC-ESI/MS interface that was developed by our laboratory to analyze the TMS (Trimethylsilyl) derivatives of organic acids, we have observed unusual high abundance of [M+3]+ ions. The abundance of [M+3]+ ions were as high as a third of the protonated molecule [M+H]+ ions. Based on the speculation of reduction of the C=O double bond (from R-CO2-Si(CH3)3 to R-H(COH)-O-Si(CH3)3), we proposed a possible structure of the unusual [M+3]+ ions. When these [M+3]+ ions were studied by Tandem Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS), a [M+3-H2O]+ product ion was observed and this ion was not detected from the fragmentations of the protonated molecules [M+H]+. With the use of deuterium solvent as the ESI solvent followed by MS/MS, the deuterated [M+5]+, and [M+4]+ ions, and the protonated [M+3]+ ions could respectively produce [M+5-D2O]+, [M+4-DHO]+, and [M+3-H2O]+ fragments, suggesting the presence of a hydroxyl group in the [M+3]+ ions. With the use of the IT-TOF mass spectrometer to identify the [M+3]+ ions, we found that the mass difference between the detected mass and the proposed structure is about 200 ppm. The most possible elemental composition R-C3H7O3Si, predicted by the computer database, was about 20 ppm from the detected mass. It was speculated that not only the unusual ions but also the 30Si isotopes of the derivatives were included in the [M+3]+ peak due to the limit of the resolution of the IT-TOF mass spectrometer. After calculation, R-C3H7O3Si was believed the reasonable elemental composition of the unusual [M+3]+ ions. The elemental composition of [M+3]+ ions were identified using a Q-Orbitrap mass spectrometer having a resolution about 100,000. Based on the elemental composition, a possible structure was proposed. The [M+3]+ ion was produced due to the exchange of a methyl group in the TMS group with a hydroxyl group. A possible mechanism for the formation of the [M+3]+ ions was also proposed.目錄 謝誌 i 摘要 ii Abstract iii 第一章 序論 1 1-1 前言 1 1-2 代謝質體學及其分析方法 2 1-3氣相層析法 3 1-3-1 氣相層析法之原理 3 1-3-2 氣相層析法的偵測方法 3 1-3-3 常見的氣相層析質譜法游離化方法 4 1-4 電噴灑游離法 5 1-4-1 電灑法的發展 5 1-4-2 電灑法原理 5 1-5 氣相層析銜接電噴灑游離質譜法 7 1-6 氣相層析電噴灑質譜應用於有機酸之分析 8 1-7 質譜儀 9 1-7-1 離子阱質譜儀(Ion-Trap Mass Spectrometer) 9 1-7-2 三段四極桿質譜儀(Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer) 9 1-7-3 飛行時間質譜儀(Time of Flight Mass Spectrometer) 10 1-7-4 軌道阱質譜儀(Orbitrap Mass Spectrometer) 11 1-8 目的與方法 12 第二章 實驗部分 23 2-1 實驗藥品 23 2-2 儀器裝置 24 2-3 實驗方法 26 第三章 結果與討論 31 3-1 矽烷化有機酸 [M+3]+ 訊號之探討 31 3-1-1 電噴灑游離化的電化學 33 3-1-2 質譜端進樣錐電壓之調控 33 3-1-3 質譜端離子源之溫度調控 34 3-2 第三丁酯類之合成與分析比較 35 3-3 以氘化試劑之電噴灑溶液進行探討 37 3-4 以二次質譜對矽烷化有機酸進行分析 40 3-4-1 以全氘代電噴灑溶液進行二次質譜實驗 42 3-5 以離子阱-飛行時間質譜儀(IT-TOF MS)進行實驗 45 3-6 以四極桿-軌道阱質譜儀(Q-Orbitrap MS)進行實驗 49 3-6-1 以三乙基矽烷化有機酸進行比較 50 3-7 [M+3]+離子形成之反應機制探討 51 3-8 結論 53 參考文獻 1009263591 bytesapplication/pdf論文公開時間:2014/08/26論文使用權限:同意有償授權(權利金給回饋學校)氣相層析法電灑法質譜有機酸三甲基矽烷衍生化線上反應氣相層析電噴灑質譜分析三甲基矽烷化有機酸產生之分子正離子同位素訊號異常現象之探討Investigation of the unusual molecular isotope patterns of trimethylsilyl esters under GC-ESI/MSthesishttp://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/261285/1/ntu-103-R01223119-1.pdf
