Acylglycines. the gas chromatograph/mass spectrometric identification and interpretation of their spectra.
The gas chromatographic retention time (methylene units) and mass spectra of a series of acylglycine compounds as their trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives are presented. A general scheme for the interpretation of these compounds is developed from the mass spectra of known compounds and is shown to be in agreement with data derived from other sources (e.g. stable isotope and high resolution mass spectra). These data should provide information for the identification of these compounds in physiological fluid of both normal and diseased patients. In addition, the general interpretation scheme should provide the investigator with an approach to the interpretation of the spectra of unknown acylglycines.
