알카인은 일반적으로 단편화되어 3-프로피닐 양이온 또는 프로파르길 양이온을 형성하며, 이는 공명 안정화됩니다.
알킨은 말단 또는 내부일 수 있습니다.
말단 알카인에서 3-프로피닐 양이온 신호는 39의 질량 대 전하 비율로 나타납니다. 내부 알카인에서는 3-프로피닐 양이온이 치환되어 더 높은 질량 대 전하 비율로 나타납니다.
자주 관찰되는 또 다른 유형의 단편화는 삼중 결합을 지닌 말단 알카인 탄소에서 수소 원자가 손실되는 것입니다.
따라서 말단 알카인은 분석물 분자의 분자 이온보다 낮은 1 u의 질량 대 전하 비율로 강렬한 질량 신호를 나타냅니다. 이 피크는 M-1 피크로 표시됩니다.

알킨의 단편화는 알킨 결합의 α와 β 탄소 사이의 탄소-탄소 결합에서 우선적으로 발생하여 3-프로피닐 양이온(또는 프로파르길 양이온)을 생성합니다. 말단 알킨에는 3-프로피닐 양이온을 생성하는 유일한 유형의 단편화가 있습니다. 치환되지 않은 3-프로피닐 양이온은 39의 질량 대 전하 비율에서 피크를 나타냅니다. 내부 알킨에서는 3-프로피닐 양이온이 치환됩니다. 예를 들어, 2-펜틴은 메틸 치환된 3-프로피닐 양이온으로 단편화되며, 이는 이후 질량 대 전하 비율 56에서 질량 신호로 나타납니다. 3-프로피닐 양이온은 공명 안정화되고 해당 질량 신호는 다음과 같습니다. 알킨의 질량 스펙트럼이 강하다. 그림 1은 1-펜틴이 에틸 라디칼로 단편화되고 공명 안정화된 3-프로피닐 양이온을 보여줍니다.

말단 알킨에서 관찰되는 또 다른 단편화 경로는 말단 sp 탄소에서 수소가 손실되는 것입니다. 이로 인해 분자 이온보다 한 단위 적은 질량 대 전하 비율의 질량 신호가 생성됩니다. 이 M-1 피크는 매우 강하며 많은 알킨의 질량 스펙트럼에서 기본 피크가 되므로 알킨을 식별하는 데 사용할 수 있습니다.

alkyne mass spectra and key peaks

Alkyne mass spectra often show strong peaks from two main fragmentation paths. One path breaks the carbon-carbon bond between the alpha and beta carbons of the alkyne bond. This produces a 3-propynyl cation, also called a propargyl cation.

In terminal alkynes, this is the only fragmentation path that gives the 3-propynyl cation. The unsubstituted 3-propynyl cation appears at a mass-to-charge ratio of 39. In internal alkynes, the 3-propynyl cation is substituted. For example, 2-pentyne forms a methyl-substituted 3-propynyl cation, which gives a mass signal at m/z 56.

The 3-propynyl cation is resonance-stabilized. That stability makes its signal intense in the mass spectrum of alkynes. A related example is the fragmentation of 1-pentyne, which produces an ethyl radical and a resonance-stabilized 3-propynyl cation.

Terminal alkynes can also lose hydrogen from the terminal sp carbon. This gives a mass signal that is one unit less than the molecular ion. The M-1 peak is often very intense and can become the base peak in many alkyne mass spectra. Because of this, it can help identify alkynes, including 1-pentyne.

mass spectrometry: long-chain alkane fragmentation

Mass Spectra of Linear Alkane Chains

Mass spectra of linear alkanes show a clear fragmentation pattern. The molecular ion often breaks at a carbon-carbon bond away from the end of the chain. This cleavage forms a stable carbocation and a stable radical, so the middle of the mass-to-charge plot usually has the strongest signals while the ends are weaker. As each bond breaks, a methyl group is lost and the main peaks in the spectrum appear 14 u apart. Smaller peaks near each main signal can also appear. These come from secondary...

mass spectrometry: branched alkane fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-branched-alkane-fragmentation

Branched Alkanes in Mass Spectra

Branched alkanes in mass spectrometry fragment quickly because branching can create stable carbocations. When cleavage happens at a branching point, a secondary or tertiary carbocation may form. That stability helps explain why the molecular ion peak is often very weak or missing compared with a linear alkane. The lesson uses 2-methylbutane, neopentane, and n-pentane to show how this pattern appears in mass spectra. 2-methylbutane and neopentane break apart to form secondary and tertiary...

mass spectrometry: cycloalkane fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-cycloalkane-fragmentation

Cycloalkane Ions and Mass Peaks

Cycloalkane ions in mass spectrometry often give strong peaks because the ring structure helps stabilize the molecular ion. Compared with linear or branched alkanes, this added stability changes how the molecule breaks apart. As a result, cycloalkanes can produce prominent signals in the mass spectrum. Cyclohexane is a clear example. Its molecular ion has an m/z of 84, and this peak is often stronger than the signal from hexane, a linear alkane. The closed ring helps hold the ion together,...

mass spectrometry: alkene fragmentation

Alkene Ion Fragmentation Patterns

Alkene ion fragmentation patterns in mass spectrometry begin when the molecule loses one electron from the unsaturated π bond. This ionization forms a stable molecular ion. The ion can then break apart by three main reaction pathways. The most common pathway is cleavage at the allylic position, which is the carbon next to the double bond. This produces an allylic carbocation that is stabilized by resonance. In terminal alkenes, this fragment appears at a mass-to-charge ratio of 41. In internal...

mass spectrometry: cycloalkene fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-cycloalkene-fragmentation

Cycloalkene Side-Chain Cleavage in Mass Spectra

Cycloalkenes can break apart in a mass spectrometer through retro-Diels–Alder fragmentation. In this process, two carbon-carbon bonds in the ring split, and ethene is released. The remaining fragment is a dienyl radical cation that is 28 u less than the molecular ion. This pathway is similar to the fragmentation of cycloalkanes that also releases ethene. The difference is the type of charged fragment that remains. Cycloalkanes form an alkyl species, while cycloalkenes form a dienyl species.

mass spectrometry: alkyne fragmentation

Alkyne mass spectra often show strong peaks from two main fragmentation paths. One path breaks the carbon-carbon bond between the alpha and beta carbons of the alkyne bond. This produces a 3-propynyl cation, also called a propargyl cation. In terminal alkynes, this is the only fragmentation path that gives the 3-propynyl cation. The unsubstituted 3-propynyl cation appears at a mass-to-charge ratio of 39. In internal alkynes, the 3-propynyl cation is substituted. For example, 2-pentyne forms a...

mass spectrometry: alcohol fragmentation

Alcohol Fragmentation Patterns in Mass Spectra

Alcohols fragment in mass spectrometry in predictable ways. When an alcohol, written as R-OH, ionizes, it can lose one non-bonded electron from the oxygen atom. That forms a molecular ion, but the molecular ion peak is often weak or may not appear because alcohols break apart quickly. Two main fragmentation routes are important for alcohols: β-cleavage and dehydration. In β-cleavage, the bond at the β-position next to the hydroxyl group breaks. This gives a resonance-stabilized cation and a...

mass spectrometry: aromatic compound fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-aromatic-compound-fragmentation

Mass Spectra of Benzene and Toluene

Mass spectra of aromatic compounds show a strong molecular ion peak. In ionization, the molecule becomes a molecular ion, which appears as a prominent peak in the spectrum. Benzene gives a molecular ion at m/z 78, and toluene gives one at m/z 92. Benzene’s molecular ion is especially stable. It does not fragment readily because breaking the aromatic benzene ring requires a large amount of energy. Alkyl-substituted benzenes behave differently in mass spectrometry. Toluene can lose a hydrogen...

mass spectrometry: amine fragmentation

Amines in Mass Spectra: Nitrogen Rule

Amines can be identified in mass spectrometry by their fragmentation patterns and by the nitrogen rule. The molecular ions of amines often break apart through β-cleavage, which cuts a carbon-carbon bond next to the nitrogen. This process forms an alkyl radical and a resonance-stabilized nitrogen-containing cation. The nitrogen rule helps predict the mass of the molecular ion. A compound with one nitrogen atom, or any odd number of nitrogen atoms, gives a molecular ion with an odd molecular...

mass spectrometry: alkyl halide fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-alkyl-halide-fragmentation

Mass Spectra of Alkyl Halides

Mass spectra of alkyl halides show clear isotope patterns from the halogen atom. Chlorine has two common isotopes, 35Cl and 37Cl, in a 3:1 ratio. Bromine has two common isotopes, 79Br and 81Br, in a 1:1 ratio. These isotope ratios create two molecular ion peaks, [M] and [M + 2], with relative heights that match the halide abundance. This pattern is easy to see in examples such as 2-chloropropane and 1-bromopropane. 2-Chloropropane gives peaks in a 3:1 ratio. 1-Bromopropane gives peaks in a 1:1...

mass spectrometry: aldehyde and ketone fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-aldehyde-and-ketone-fragmentation

Carbonyl Fragment Patterns in Mass Spectra

Aliphatic aldehydes and ketones break apart in mass spectrometry through a few key carbonyl fragment patterns. The main pathways are alpha-cleavage, inductive cleavage, and the McLafferty rearrangement. These patterns help chemists read the mass spectrum and spot a carbonyl group. Alpha-cleavage is a common break next to the carbonyl group. The bond beside the carbonyl splits, and this forms an alkyl radical and an acylium cation. The acylium cation is often seen in the spectrum because it is...

mass spectrometry: carboxylic acid, ester, and amide fragmentation

mass-spectrometry-carboxylic-acid-ester-and-amide-fragmentation

Mass Spectra of Carboxylic Compounds

Mass spectra of carboxylic acids, esters, and amides often show two key fragmentation routes: β-cleavage and McLafferty rearrangement. In β-cleavage, the carbon-carbon bond at the β-position next to the carboxylic group breaks. This produces a neutral radical and a cation. Long-chain compounds can also fragment by McLafferty rearrangement if they have a hydrogen on the γ-carbon. The γ-carbon is the third carbon away from the carboxylic group. This rearrangement gives a radical cation and a...

chemical ionization (ci) mass spectrometry

Using Reagent Gas in CI Mass Spectrometry

Chemical ionization mass spectrometry uses a reagent gas to help detect molecules that break apart too quickly in electron impact ionization. It is a milder ionization method that can extend the life of the ionized analyte, which makes molecular identification easier. In chemical ionization, the sample is mixed with an excess reagent gas. This setup makes the electron impact occur mainly on the reagent gas instead of on the analyte. The charged species formed from the reagent then protonates...

How ESI Turns Biomolecules Into Ions

Electrospray ionization, or ESI, is a mass spectrometry method used to detect biomolecules that are too large or nonvolatile for conventional electron impact ionization. These molecules may break down before they can ionize or evaporate. ESI helps prevent rapid fragmentation and lets scientists record a mass signal for the whole biomolecule. ESI uses electrical energy to move ions from the liquid phase into the gas phase. The analyte biomolecule is mixed with an ionic liquid, which is a...

It is used to identify and characterize proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Because of this, it is common in biological and medical research, as well as pharmacology and biochemistry. In MALDI, the analyte of interest is mixed with a matrix material. The matrix is usually an organic compound, such as a small organic acid or a crystalline...
