Hydrogenobalam in (metal-free vitamin B12) and cupribalamin are characterized by their fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra which show molecular ion and characteristic fragment ion peaks. These spectra and the high-resolution FAB mass spectrum of cobalamin (vitamin B12) show that the (M+H)+-CN-59 peak for the latter is due to loss of acetamide and not of the central cobalt atom. In the FAB mass spectrum of cupribalamin metal clusters are observed

Abstract In the Fast Atom Bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of monomeric and dimeric corrinoids, exchange of metal-bound ligands against matrix particles is observed which leads to pseudo molecular ions. Negative ion FAB mass spectra in particular, give distinct information on the intact molecular units.

The shikimate metabolites are key precursors to a large number of natural products, including aromatic amino acids. Chorismic acid is an important branch point in the biosynthetic pathway to aromatic amino acids. Chorismic acid is also unique among natural products since it is the only compound known to undergo an enzymatic Claisen rearrangement. A metabolite of chorismic acid, isochorismic acid, first observed in Aerobacter aerogenes differs in its chemical structure by the location of the hydroxyl group and the double bonds. Isochorismic acid is a precursor to a growing number of shikimate-derived metabolites. Isochorismic acid has also been postulated to be an intermediate of m-carboxyaromatic amino acids, implying another enzymatic Claisen rearrangement. In this publication, we have isolated isochorismate synthase and found that on lyophilization the enzyme is stable for at least 6 months at −20 °C. Incubation of chorismate with this preparation in water enriched with 18O led to incorporation of one atom of 18O as proven from the fast atom bombardment mass spectra of the HPLC purified derived isochorismate. Key words: chorismate, isochorismate, rearrangement, H218O, isochorismate synthetase.

The positive ion fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of a series of group IV organometallic halides, (phenyl)3MCl (M = Ge, Sn, Pb), (phenyl)3PbX (X = Cl, Br, I) and Sn(phenyl)nCl4−n are reported in a sulfolane matrix, and compared to their corresponding EI spectra. The use of other matrix liquids such as glycerol thioglycerol, diamylphenol, 18-crown-6/tetraglyme, and p-nitrophenyloctylether are discussed. Disappointingly FAB, like EI, does not produce significant parent ions for group IV organometallics. The FAB and EI spectra are remarkably similar with one major exception. In EI, the loss of a phenyl is preferred over the loss of a halide, while in FAB the reverse is the case, strongly suggesting that the primary ionization occurs in the condensed phase.
