Ordinarily only labile analytes undergo significant prompt fragmentation in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS), 1 such as oligonucleotides2 or vitamin B12. 3 Basically this is because MALDI, which commonly uses moderate laser fluences, is a relatively gentle ionization/desorption technique.. It was therefore of interest for us to observe a relatively abundant fragment ion at m/z 255 from β-estradiol (E2, Mr= 272, structure in Figure 1), under routine MALDI conditions, with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CCA) as matrix, as seen in Figure 2A. We wondered whether the ion at m/z 255 came from loss of water from protonated E2 (m/z 273), or from loss of a hydroxyl radical from the radical cation (m/z 272), and how this took place.(Note that the peak at m/z 273 in Figure 2A is mostly (81%) the 13C form of the radical cation at m/z 272, and partly (19%) protonated E2.) Our attention immediately turned to the former pathway since electron ionization of E2 at 70 eV gives negligible loss of OH. 4 Further, subjecting m/z 272 to post-source decay furnished only a negligible product ion at m/z 255, as seen in Figure 2B.In principle, protonated E2 might lose water in four ways: an elimination reaction (loss of OH along with an adjacent H) at C3 or C17, or a non-elimination reaction at either of these sites. In a post-source decay experiment we observed that the ion at m/z 255 retains the aryl-OH: the major product ion from m/z 255 is m/z 159, and the aryl-OH moiety is part of this ion (Figure 3A). This turned our attention to the loss of water at C17. An elimination mechanism for the loss of water at this carbon atom (in conjunction with protonation at the aryl-OH to yield an ion of m/z 255) was ruled out by the observation that m/z 255 is completely replaced by m/z 258 when 17β-estradiol-16, 16, 17-d3 (structure shown in Figure 1, prepared by Prime Organics, Woburn, MA, USA) is tested instead of E2, as seen in Figure 2C.(We also studied 17β-estradiol-16, 16, 17-d3 by post-source decay, as shown in Figure 3C, to strengthen the assignments that we made for the ions shown in Figure A3A.) A mechanism peculiar to CCA was ruled out by the observation that the product ion at m/z 255 also forms readily when using a matrix of 2, 5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, as seen in Figure 2D.(Note that in the latter spectrum the intense peak at m/z 273.044 is a matrix ion, while m/z 273.171 is the combination of the 13C of the radical cation and the protonated molecule.) The analogous estrogen, 5α-androstan-17β-ol, readily loses OH in positive chemical ionization (PCI) with methane. 5 Alcohols in general (at least those with five or more carbon atoms) readily lose OH in PCI. 6 We observed that 5β-androstan-17β-ol (Mr= 276,
