Abstract
The mass spectra of 15 phytoecdysteroids and acetyl derivatives have been compared. With a decrease in the number of -OR groups, the contribution of cleavages of the bonds of the steroid skeleton increases. 20,22-Diols are characterized by the greatest significance of fragmentation at the C-20–C-22 bond. In all the spectra, clear indications of fragmentation of the side chain at the C-22–C-23, C-23–C-24, and C-24–C-25 bonds are observed.
