Abstract
Rules for the gas-phase fragmentation mechanism of the negative ions of lipophilic phosphotriester molecules of biological interest have been established by fast-atom bombardment mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry. The mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectra of the [M - H](-) of dinucleoside (1-4) and nucleoside glucopyranoside (5-9) phosphotriesters show that in the absence of charges on the phosphate bridge, the availability of acidic protons on the 5'-end nucleobase drives a preferred reaction path which leads to 5'-O-nucleotide or 6-O-glucopyranoside monophosphate anions.
