Xylazine represents an increased threat to the recreational drug market. In this study, we present a rapid strategy for identifying xylazine and differentiating its common isomeric metabolites using Structures for Lossless Ion Manipulations (SLIM) ion mobility coupled to high-resolution/tandem mass spectrometry (IM-HRMS/MS). Chemical derivatization using dansyl chloride also assisted with separations and led to identification of resolvable reaction product atropisomers.
