Abstract:

Quantum chemistry calculations were carried out to theoretically analyze the stability of fragments and the rules of elimination of substituents in electrospray ionization tandem mass spectra(ESI-MSn) for DDA. Geometries of the six DDA were optimized at ab initio HF/6-31G* level. The calculations provided the binding energies of the corresponding active bonds and the comparison of the data gave the criterion about the stability of chemical bonds. The order of eliminations of carboxyl, benzyl, ethyl or methyl as well as the influence on eliminations of ·OH at C3 on the atoms around also studied. The process of elimination of CO and the rules of elimination of four methoxy groups on different carbon atoms were predicted theoretically. The results of Quantum chemistry calculation were in pretty agreement with the experimental data of ESI-MSn.
