Awad, Tamer; De Ruiter, Jack; Clark, C. Randall published the artcile< Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of regioisomeric ring substituted methoxy methyl phenylacetones>, Reference of 56724-03-9, the main research area is regioisomeric ring substituted methoxy methyl phenylacetone GC mass spectrometry.
The methoxy Me phenylacetones share an isobaric relation (equivalent mass but different elemental composition) to the controlled precursor substance 3,4-methylenedioxyphenylacetone. The 10 methoxy Me phenylacetones as well as the methylenedioxyphenylacetones show essentially equivalent mass spectra with major fragment ions at m/z 135 and 43. Those methoxy Me phenylacetones with the methoxy group substituted ortho to the benzylic cation in the m/z 135 ion show a further fragmentation to lose formaldehyde (CH2O) and yield a significant ion at m/z 105. The loss of formaldehyde from the ortho methoxy benzyl cation was confirmed using com. available regioisomeric 2-, 3-, and 4-methoxyphenylacetones. The 10 regioisomeric methoxy Me phenylacetones were prepared from the appropriately substituted benzaldehydes. Complete gas chromatog. resolution of all ten regioisomeric ketones was obtained on a stationary phase containing modified β-cyclodextrin. Using the cyclodextrin containing phase, the ortho methoxy-substituted ketones (K1-K4) eluted before the meta-methoxy-substituted ketones (K5-K8) and the para-methoxy-substituted ketones (K9-K10) showed the greatest affinity for the stationary liquid phase and eluted last. Complete separation of the 10 ketones was not obtained on Rtx-1 and Rtx-200 columns. (c) 2007 Preston Publications.
