McLafferty ions that result from decarboxylation of deuterated MPA that has not undergone carbon skeleton rearrangement (m/z 134) (A) and carbon skeleton rearrangement of MPA followed by decarboxylation (m/z 133) (B). The latter ion was experimentally observed in the mass spectrum of d34-4-methyloctadecanoic acid (Fig. 2B).
