Popis: In studies conducted to determine the fate of methomyl in goat, chicken, and monkey, an unknown highly polar, acidic metabolite was found in the urine/excreta of all three animals. The metabolite was purified by HPLC and analyzed by microcolumn LC/MS with electrospray ionization and by NMR. A Hypercarb porous graphitic carbon HPLC column was used for purification and LC/MS, since the unknown was unretained on conventional reversed phase HPLC columns. [14C]Methomyl was used as radiotracer, and [13C]methomyl was added at the 50% level to facilitate metabolite identification. The molecular weight of the metabolite was determined by LC/MS-electrospray, using positive and negative ionization, and structurally useful fragment ions were obtained in both modes by in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID). High-resolution accurate mass measurements of the MH+ doublet allowed assignment of the elemental composition. NMR data showed the presence of methyl, methylene, and methine protons with coupling observed b...
