Structural characterization of 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid, an isolated metabolite of 9,10-dichlorooctadecanoic acid, by studying picolinyl esters, pyrrolidides and methyl esters with electron ionization mass spectrometry

Åkesson-Nilsson, Gunilla and Wesén, Clas LU (2004) In Journal of Mass Spectrometry 39(11). p.1313-1320
Abstract
A method is presented for identification of positional isomers of dichlorinated fatty acids, based on derivatization to picolinyl esters prior to gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric analysis in the electron ionization mode. The mass spectra of the picolinyl esters showed structure-specific fragmentation patterns. By using the picolinyl ester, 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid was identified as a metabolite from a cell-culture medium obtained by culturing human cell lines in media supplemented with threo-9,10-dichlorooctaclecanoic acid. This indicates that dichlorinated fatty acids are degraded by beta-oxidation. It is also possible to locate tentatively the position of chlorine atoms in 5,6-dichlorotetradecanoic acid as its methyl ester or... (More)
