title: Combined in-beam electron impact-B/E-linked scan mass spectrometry of oxazoline derivatives for the structure determination of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids.
abstract: Long-chain unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) having up to six double bonds are derivatized to 2-substituted 4,4-dimethyloxazolines (DMOX) and then analyzed by combined in-beam electron impact (IBEI)-B/E-linked scan mass spectrometry. This technique provides highly characteristic mass spectra and may serve as an auxiliary means for direct structure determination of individual UFA in mixtures.
