Unimlecular Depurination of Substituted Deoxyadenosines by Fast Atom Bombardment Mass Spectrometry/Mass Spectrometry

Abstract
The effect of benzoyl substitution on the unimolecular depurination of deoxyadenosine, in the gas-phase, has been evaluated. The glycosidic bond dissociation of the conjugated acids and bases of the isomeric species occurs remote fran the charge sites.
