AbstractSubstituted benzeneboronic acids are important intermediates in the synthesis of support matrices for affinity chromatography but their analysis by mass spectrometry is hindered by thermal reactions in the ion source. A simple derivatization with 1,2‐ or 1,3‐diols removes this difficulty and imparts sufficient volatility for application of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The mass spectra of the resulting boronate esters are discussed with reference to high resolution measurements, isotope labelling studies and observation of metastable ions. ortho Substituents are shown to interact strongly during fragmentation. Linked scanning at constant B/E was used to characterize fragmentation pathways and the compatibility of linked scanning and GC/MS is reported.
