Abstract
Several ions in the mass spectra of wax esters were related to the molecular structures. Assigned structures of ions were confirmed by deuterium labeling. A simple, direct method for quantititive analyses of mixtures was developed. The method involved a comparison of sets of three ions, RCO2H+, RCO2H2 + and [R′−1]+ from all compounds in the mixture. The method was found applicable for mixtures of unsaturated wax esters after reduction with tetradeuterio hydrazine.Keywords
