Abstract
The low resolution mass spectra of 5,6-monoepoxyretinoic acid, 5,8-monoepoxyretinoic acid, 5,6-monoepoxyretinyl acetate, 5,8-monoepoxyretinyl acetate, 5,8-monoepoxyretinal, trimethylsilyl-5,6-monoepoxyretinoate, trimethylsilyl-5,8-monoepoxyretinoate, methyl-5,6-monoepoxyretinoate, methyl-5,8-monoepoxyretinoate, β-C19-retinal and β-C19-retinyl acetate-analogs of vitamin A—are presented. Characteristic features of the spectra are discussed. In addition, high resolution mass measurements are presented for six fragment ions of all-trans-retinoic acid and eleven fragment ions of methyl-5,6-monoepoxyretinoate.
