The fragmentation reactions of protonated glutamic acid derivatives of general formula H-Glu(X)-Y, specifically H-Gln-OH, H-Glu-NH2, H-Glu-OMe, and H-Glu(OMe)-OH, have been studied as a function of internal energy and by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS/MS) experiments. The results show that loss of HX from the gamma -carboxyl group leads not only to a protonated pyroglutamic acid derivative but also to a cyclic cationated anhydride or imide ion. Loss of HY from the gamma -carboxyl position is accompanied by loss of CO in agreement with the known instability of alpha -aminoacylium ions. The secondary fragmentation product C4H6NO+ (m/z 84) is shown to arise by loss of HY + CO from the [MH - HX](+) ions and by loss of RX from the [MH - HY - CO](+) ions. Deuterium labeling experiments show that, although the primary loss of HX and HY+CO involve only labile hydrogens, both labile hydrogens and C-bonded hydrogens are lost in the further fragmentation of the [MH - HX](+) and [MH - HY - CO](+) primary ions. It is concluded that there are several pathways to the m/z 84 product ion and several structures for this fragment ion. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
