Method Development for the Analysis of Fast Pyrolysis Products of Cellulose by Mass Spectrometry

摘要

All of the carbohydrate model compounds investigated, as well as hydroxymethylfurfural, showed an abundant chloride adduct ion with roughly equal ionization efficiency. CAD of the chloride adducts yields valuable structural information. For fast pyrolysis products of cellulose, ESI chloride attachment yielded mass spectra indicating the presence of both chloride adducts and deprotonated molecules. Some of these ions are composed of two isobaric ions. CAD yielded structural information for the ions.
