Abstract
It has been known since the early days of organic mass spectrometry that different mass spectra are obtained not only from isomeric compounds with different constitutions of the molecules, but also from stereoisomeric compounds, whose molecules differ only in their geometries (for reviews see refs. 1, 2). The peak pattern of a mass spectrum therefore contains information about the stereochemistry of the compounds under investigation. If it were possible to read this information by the application of reliable “fragmentation rules”, this would not only lead to a better understanding of the reactions of organic ions in a mass spectrometer, but would also be useful for the analytical application of mass spectrometry to biochemical problems.
