Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of some penicillins

Abstract: The new technique of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry has been applied to the investigation of a series of penicillins as free acids or as alkali metal salts. In all cases both positive and negative ion pseudomolecular species are observed giving molecular weight information. Additionally, significant fragmentation is observed in both the positive and negative ion spectra, which gives considerable structural information.

“…Cleavage of the strained lactam ring, however, appears to take precedence. This is substantiated by other desorption/ionization techniques in which intense fragment ions are observed corresponding to protonated species arising from cleavage of the (3-lactam ring of the penicillin (38). The free acid form of the penicillins studied to date by other DI techniques have given results comparable to that in Figure 3.…”

“…Most of these compounds are thermally labile. As an example the ß-lactam antibiotics have been studied by Py-MS (36) and by various DI methods (37,38). Pyrolysis methods almost always lead to low molecular weight products and consequently compound identification relies upon matching pyrolysis mass spectra to known spectra.…”

“…Fragmentation patterns vary, depending on ring size and the nature and position of the substituents. The fragmentation patterns of j3-1actam antibiotics [11][12][13][14][15][16][17], steroidal lactams [18][19][20], and other complex lactams [21][22][23][24][25] following electron impact ionization, chemical ioniza-tion, fast-atom bombardment ionization, and collisional activation have also been reported; however, the bimolecular reactions of simple lactams and dissociation reactions of the reaction products have not been studied systematically.…”
