“…CI single-stage MS methods have employed a variety of reagent gases including vinylamine, , vinyl methyl ether either alone or as a mixture with N 2 , N 2 and CS 2 , or CO 2 , , methylamine, isobutane, , OH - produced by EI in a 10:90 ratio of N 2 O to CH 4 , and NO. − Budzikiewicz et al report that the double bonds in methylene-interrupted triene and tetraene systems can be located by two radical-ion fragments using NO as the reagent gas . In general, the disadvantage to CI-based methods reported to date is that they are limited to special cases and have only been evaluated for localization of a maximum of four double bonds.…”
