Determination of double bond position in wax esters by dimethyl disulfide derivatization and mass spectrometry
Háková, Martina ; Schwarzová, Karolina (advisor) ; Coufal, Pavel (referee)
Wax esters are substantial constituents of natural waxes, which can be found in many living organisms. Properties of lipids, including wax esters, may be significantly influenced by the position of double bond. In this diploma thesis the location of double bonds was determined by dimethyl disulfide (DMDS) derivatization followed by detection using tandem mass spectrometry with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI). We managed to measure the APCI and ESI MS/MS spectra of 8 different wax esters with different position of double bond. Diagnostic ions determining double bond position were identified. This method could be used in HPLC/MS analysis of wax esters, which cannot be analyzed by GC/MS. It was shown that the DMDS derivatization reaction and mass detection with APCI ionization is also suitable for locating double bonds in alkenes.
