Laser desorption Fourier transform mass spectrometry was used to characterize the cis-syn cyclobutane photodimers of uracil-uracil, uracil-thymine and thymine-thymine. This soft ionization technique generated [M-H]- ions as well as some fragment ions. Investigation of the laser desorption process indicated that gas-phase dimerization reactions do not occur for pyrimidine monomers and dimers under these experimental conditions. Collisional dissociation of the [M-H]- ions provided structural information for the pyrimidine rings of the dimers. The fragment ions observed in the collisional dissociation spectra of these cyclobutane dimers suggested rearrangement of the [M-H]- parent ions to a macrocycle prior to dissociation.
激光解吸傅里叶变换质谱法用于表征尿嘧啶 - 尿嘧啶、尿嘧啶 - 胸腺嘧啶和胸腺嘧啶 - 胸腺嘧啶的顺式 - 顺环丁烷光二聚体。这种软电离技术产生了[M-H]-离子以及一些碎片离子。对激光解吸过程的研究表明,在这些实验条件下,嘧啶单体和二聚体不会发生气相二聚反应。[M-H]-离子的碰撞解离提供了二聚体嘧啶环的结构信息。在这些环丁烷二聚体的碰撞解离光谱中观察到的碎片离子表明,[M-H]-母离子在解离之前重排为大环。
