The invention provides compositions and methods for mass spectrometric (MS), organic synthesis, and applications of organo-trifluoroborate, for example, as mass tags for use in negative ion mode. When subject to MS fragmentation, organo-trifluoroborates preferentially undergo neutral losses of hydrogen fluoride (HF) or boron trifluoride (BF
3
) molecules, transferring the negative charge to the rest of the molecule. Such a fragmentation pattern is used to detect and quantitate analytes of interest after derivatization with organo-trifluoroborates.
这项发明提供了用于质谱(MS)、有机合成以及有机三
氟硼酸盐的应用的组合物和方法,例如作为质谱负离子模式下使用的质量标记。在经历MS碎裂时,有机三
氟硼酸盐优先发生
氢氟酸(HF)或
三氟化硼(
BF3)分子的中性损失,将负电荷转移到分子的其余部分。这样的碎裂模式用于在与有机三
氟硼酸盐衍生化之后检测和定量感兴趣的分析物。
