Figure 2.11: Differentiation of 6-C- and 8-C-glycosides. Product ion spectra of<br />

protonated (a)vitexin and(b) isovitexin, aswell asthe MS 3 spectra of the 0,2 X +<br />

fragment for (c)vitexin and(d) isovitexin [100].<br />

scribed the E1 − ion as being characteristic also for the 8-C isomer vitexin. Sim-<br />

ilarly, the same authors reported higher abundance of the 0,3 X − ion for the 6-C<br />

isomers than for the 8-C-glycosides [111]. Moreover, different small molecule<br />

loss patterns were observed in the positive ion MS 3 spectra of the 0,2 X + frag-<br />

mentsfor6-C-and8-C-glycosyl isomers. Usingthesamefragmentationenergy,<br />

more pronounced fragmentation occurred in case of C-6 glycosides, resulting<br />

in 0,2 X + –H2O, 0,2 X + –CHO, 0,2 X + –H2O–COfragments, whereasinthespectra of<br />

the 8-C-glycosyl isomers only the 0,2 X + –CHO fragment was present (Fig. 2.11c<br />

and d). Thisobservation wasalso confirmed by Vukics etal. [112]. Inaddition,<br />

the 1,3 A + and 1,3 A + –COfragments were exclusively present in the positive MS 3<br />

spectraofthe 0,2 X + ionforthe6-Cisomers, suchasswertiajaponin (7-methoxy-<br />

luteolin-6-C-glucoside), isoorientin andisovitexin [115, 116].<br />
