Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Halogenated Anilines

The textbook "Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry of Halogenated Anilines" provides a comprehensive analysis of the use of halogenated anilines in various industrial applications, including the production of azo dyes, agrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals. These compounds are often found in industrial wastewater or are produced during the metabolism of certain aromatic drugs in mammals. The unambiguous identification of these compounds is crucial for metabolic studies and the assessment of contaminants. The book addresses the challenges of characterizing ortho-, meta-, and para-isomers using Electron Ionization Mass Spectrometry (EI-MS) and offers straightforward derivatization methods for isomer differentiation. Additionally, tandem mass spectrometry and density functional theory analyses are employed to investigate the fragmentation pathways of haloanilines and their N-acyl derivatives in the gas phase.
