Mass spectra of glycolaldehyde and glyceraldehyde

View publication

Abstract

The mass spectra of the dimeric forms of glycolaldehyde and glyceraldehyde are reported for solid samples injected directly into the source of a mass spectrometer. Both compounds fragment via routes which are explicable in terms of the isomerisation of the molecular ion via a four-membered transition state.
