Gas-phase carboxylate anions of saturated fatty acids undergo losses of the elements of CH4, C2H6, C3H8, ... by way of a highly specific 1,4-elimination of H2. These CnH2n+2 losses begin at the alkyl terminus and progress along the entire alkyl chain. Introduction of a double bond causes a disruption in the CnH2n+2 loss pattern which can be interpreted readily to locate the double bond position. However, locating double bonds in polyunsaturated fatty acids is more difficult and becomes impossible for acids containing 4 or more carbon-carbon double bonds. These highly unsaturated fatty acid anions fragment upon collisional activation by eliminating 45 mass units which preempts the CnH2n+2-loss process. The highly specific mechanism for Cn H2n+2 loss and a diimide (N2D2) reduction provide the opportunity to develop a method of determining double bond location in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Accordingly, a series of polyunsaturated fatty acids was reduced and the resulting deuterated saturated acids were desorbed as carboxylate anions. Interpreting the mass shifts caused by incorporation of deuterium into the departing CnH2n+2 neutral fragments permits the double bonds in the original acid to be located.
