Structural analysis of diols by electrospray mass spectrometry on boric acid complexes
Abstract
A method is presented to characterize diols using negative ion electrospray (ES) mass spectrometry in combination with collision-induced dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The analyte diol is added to a solution containing an ethylene glycol/boric acid [2:1] complex and then subjected to infusion ES. The following boric acid complexes are formed: (i) a complex with two ethylene glycol molecules, (ii) a mixed ethylene glycol/analyte …
