Description
Highlights
-A method for selective identification of lipid lactones was developed.
-The method is based on a reaction of lactones with 1-(3-aminopropyl)imidazole.
-Lactones are detected in a highly selective manner.
-Lactones' reaction products exhibited a characteristic MS/MS fragmentation pattern.
