Abstract Identification of phenethylamine (PEA) analogues is of great importance and requires analytical methods of high specificity. Forensic drug analysis is often performed by gas chromatography (GC) most commonly coupled with mass spectrometric (MS) detection. However, analysis of labile compounds is problematic with classical electron ionization (EI)-MS, and positional isomers may be difficult to differentiate by MS. Cold electron ionization (cold EI) improves molecular ion relative intensity by reducing the analyte vibrational energy prior to ionization. Vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) is a gas phase technique that can provide complementary selectivity to MS for identification. In this study, cold EI-MS was used in parallel with VUV detection for the analysis of select PEA analogues and positional isomers. Molecular ion relative intensity was increased for nearly all compounds included in this study. Principal component analysis demonstrated that VUV is more successful at distinguishing between positional isomers than MS. A library database of VUV spectra was set up to identify compounds, which was later used to deconvolute spectra of coeluting compounds. Detection limits for VUV are lower than those of MS with cold-EI, where VUV is capable of reaching sub-microgram per milliliter levels. Linearity tests on VUV showed high correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.999) for close to or over and order-of-magnitude dynamic range.

使用双冷电子电离质谱和真空紫外检测器的气相色谱法分析苯乙胺类似物

摘要 苯乙胺 (PEA) 类似物的鉴定非常重要,需要高度特异性的分析方法。法医药物分析通常通过气相色谱 (GC) 进行,最常与质谱 (MS) 检测结合使用。然而,使用经典电子电离 (EI)-MS 分析不稳定化合物存在问题,并且位置异构体可能难以通过 MS 进行区分。冷电子电离(冷 EI)通过降低电离前的分析物振动能来提高分子离子的相对强度。真空紫外 (VUV) 是一种气相技术,可为质谱提供互补的选择性以进行鉴定。在本研究中,冷 EI-MS 与 VUV 检测并行使用,用于分析选定的 PEA 类似物和位置异构体。本研究中几乎所有化合物的分子离子相对强度都增加了。主成分分析表明 VUV 在区分位置异构体方面比 MS 更成功。建立了 VUV 光谱库数据库来识别化合物,后来用于解卷积共流出化合物的光谱。VUV 的检测限低于冷 EI 质谱的检测限,其中 VUV 能够达到每毫升亚微克的水平。VUV 的线性测试显示接近或超过数量级动态范围的高相关系数 (R2 > 0.999)。建立了一个 VUV 光谱库数据库来识别化合物,后来用于解卷积共流出化合物的光谱。VUV 的检测限低于冷 EI 质谱的检测限,其中 VUV 能够达到每毫升亚微克的水平。VUV 的线性测试显示接近或超过数量级动态范围的高相关系数 (R2 > 0.999)。建立了 VUV 光谱库数据库来识别化合物,后来用于解卷积共流出化合物的光谱。VUV 的检测限低于冷 EI 质谱的检测限,其中 VUV 能够达到每毫升亚微克的水平。VUV 的线性测试显示接近或超过数量级动态范围的高相关系数 (R2 > 0.999)。
