Fragmentation Pathways of Trifluoroacetyl Derivatives of Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, and Methylenedioxyphenylalkylamine Designer Drugs by Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry

Figure 1

Mass chromatograms obtained from GC/MS analysis using Equity-5 capillary column for TFA derivatives of seven analytes. The ionizing energy was 70 eV with an emission current of 60 μA. Ten nanograms of each analyte were injected in the positive-ion EI mode. Peaks: (1) AM-TFA; (2) MA-TFA; (3) MDA-TFA; (4) BDB-TFA; (5) MDMA-TFA; (6) MDEA-TFA; and (7) MBDB-TFA.
