Sir: Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry is a method of considerable importance for the structural analysis of highly polar or labile organic compounds (1, 2). The technique is generally regarded as a “soft”-ionization method in which low-energy processes predominate, with fragment ions formedby unimolecular dissociation of protonated molecules (MH+) and similar species. The general appearance of FAB mass spectra can often be predicted by analogy to the corresponding chemical ionization or field desorption spectra (3, 4) with which FAB shares some char-acteristics.We report here that halogenated nucleosides, a class of compound typically well suited for FAB mass spectrometry, undergo extensive dehalogenation duringFAB in glycerol matrix. These processes, in whichhalogen bound to the heterocyclic base is replaced by H in the net reaction, have no analogy as major reactions of ions produced by other de-sorption methods or electron ionization and cannot represent low-energy processes in the usual context of gaseous ion chemistry. The FAB mass spectra of nucleosides 1-8 (Chart I) have been studied to determine whether chemical selectivity results from the identity of the halogen (I, Br, Cl, F) or position of halogen substitution and to determine whether structural selectivity exists for the source of hydrogen incorporated after dehalogenation, by using selectively deuterated glycerol as matrix.
