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.

Fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry (FAB-MS) was employed for the structural analysis of the core oligosaccharide ofAeromonas hydrophila(Chemotype III) lipopolysaccharide. Positive ion FAB-MS of the underivatized core oligosaccharide gave the protonated molecular ion, confrrming the correct composition in terms of hexoses, heptoses and Kdo which was present as a bicyclic furanosidic lactone. Negative ion FAB-MS gave the deprotonated molecular ion and fragment ions which were derived from more than two cleavage events with charge retention at the reducing and non-reducing terminals. Positive ion F AB-MS of the permethylated core oligosaccharide afforded fragment ions consistent with the defined sequence and branching patterns of the sugar constituents. The electrospray mass spectrum (ESMS) in the positive ion mode of the underivatized core oligosaccharide afforded the protonated molecular ion in the singly and doubly charged forms. Low energy collision-activated dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (CAD MS/MS) analysis of the protonated molecular ion [M+2H]+2provided additional structural data. ESMS of the permethylated and N-acetylated permethylated core oligosaccharides provided useful structural indices and afforded a characteristic pattern for fragmentions resulting from the opening of the methylated bicyclic Kdo furanosidic 1,7- lactone, which was similar to that obtained in the corresponding FAB-MS.

The five major apolar ecdysone esters present in newly laid eggs of the cattle tick Boophilus microplus have been purified by h.p.l.c. The quantities of the apolar esters present in the eggs were increased by administration of ecdysone to the mature females. G.c.-m.s. analysis, as their methyl esters, of the fatty acids released from the apolar ecdysone derivatives by alkali, coupled with positive-ion fast-atom-bombardment m.s. of the intact ecdysone esters, showed that the compounds consisted of a series of fatty acyl esters of ecdysone. The position of esterification of the ecdysone was established by p.m.r. spectroscopy. The combined data show that the novel apolar derivatives of ecdysone consist of the 22-palmitate, -palmitoleate, -stearate, -oleate, and -linoleate esters respectively. Confirmation was obtained by comparison with synthetic ecdysone 22-palmitate. The significance of the ecdysone fatty acyl esters as a possible source of free hormone during embryogenesis is discussed.
