  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A convenient method for distinguishing underivatized isomeric monosaccharides has been established using electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometry (ESI‐ITMS). Mass spectra of hexoses (glucose, galactose, and mannose),<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐acetylhexosamines (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐acetylglucosamine,<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐acetylgalactosamine, and<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐acetylmannosamine) and hexosamines (glucosamine, galactosamine, and mannosamine) dissolved in solvent containing 1 mM ammonium acetate were obtained in the positive ion mode. Glucose was distinguished from galactose and mannose in the MS<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>spectrum of the [M+NH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>]<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>ion at<jats:italic>m/z</jats:italic>198. The MS<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>spectra generated from [M+NH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>–H<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O–NH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>]<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>at<jats:italic>m/z</jats:italic>163 showed that galactose and mannose could be distinguished by the ratio of peak intensities at<jats:italic>m/z</jats:italic>145 and 127, while the three<jats:italic>N</jats:italic>‐acetylhexosamine and hexosamine stereochemical isomers could be identified by the relative abundance ratios of product ions observed in MS<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>spectra. The investigation of MS and MS<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>spectra from complexes of these monosaccharides with Na<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>and Pb<jats:sup>2+</jats:sup>failed to distinguish these monosaccharide isomers. Therefore, multiple stage mass analysis by ESI‐ITMS using either [M+NH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>]<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>or [M+H]<jats:sup>+</jats:sup>was useful to distinguish between the isomers of monosaccharides.
