  • 3-a CI, chemical ionization; EI, electron ionization; ESI, electrospray ionization.

  • 3-b Some fragments are not observed due to the structure of the compound or because of low concentrations.

  • 3-c Doublets 3 amu apart due to the presence of fragments containing 13C3; fragments containing two or one 13C carbons gave doublets 2 or 1 amu apart, respectively; fragments with no 13C atoms gave singlets.

  • 3-d Not observed by ESI.
