Ion trap MS has been utilized in the structure elucidation of a saponin from Quillaja saponaria. With respect to the carbohydrate moieties, this technique allowed the elucidation of the sequence and branching, of six out of seven glycosidic linkages, the precise location of an appended O-acetyl grou

โฆ Synopsis
Multi-stage mass spectrometry (MSn) (up to n = 6) using a combination of electrospray ionization with a quadrupole ion trap was applied to the gas-phase isolation and direct structure elucidation of a complicated surfactant molecule in a crude product extract. Doubly unsaturated ions were found to arise from neutral, saturated fatty amide side chains via a unique fragmentation in the positive ion mode. Negative ion experiments revealed the substructure of the anionic portion of the surfactant. Strategies for software-controlled acquisition and mapping of MSn data are discussed.
