Fragmentation of Isoflavanone and its Derivatives using Mass Spectrometry

Abstract

This study examines the fragmentation of isoflavanone compounds using mass spectrometry. It reveals significant findings on the structural attributes and fragmentation behaviours of these molecules. Notable results include water loss from precursor ions, reduction in m/z ratios, removal/elimination of CO and CH3 radicals, identification of fragment ions, and analysis of distinctive fragment ions from the cleavage of the C ring. The study also shows the calculation as regards to the energy thresholds and Survival yields associated with the fragmentation of precursor ions and fragmentation stability. This knowledge enhances understanding of isoflavanone chemistry and holds significant implications in analytical chemistry and natural product analysis.
