Notes:
An oxonium ion at m/z 317 is present in the desorption electron ionization and ammonia desorption chemical ionization mass spectra of peracetylated disaccharides, comprised of glucopyranose units linked (1 → 2), (1 → 3), (1 → 4) and (1 → 6), but is absent in the spectra of the (1 → 1)-linked isomer. The ion aat m/z 317, which is derived from the reducing moiety, has an O-formyl group at the position of linkage to the non-reducing moiety, and O-acetyl groups at each of the remaining positions. The iosmeric monoformyl, triacetyl oxonium ions (at m/z 317), derived from the (1 → 2)-, (1 → 3)-, (1 → 4)- and (1 → 6)-linked disaccharides, give distinctly different mass-analysed ion kinetic energy spectra, thereby enabling the linkage position to be assigned unambiguously.
