Abstract

The secondary emission (SE) spectra of six glycosides of medicagenic acid (MA) and of hederagenin have been studied. The (M + H)+ ions were observed in the secondary ion spectra (LSIMS) of mono- and biosides of MA and also of a triand a tetraoside of hederagenin in a glycerol matrix. The (M + Na)+ ions were recorded in the spectra of tri- and tetraosides of MA. In the majority of cases processes involving the successive splitting out of the carbohydrate units were revealed. Positive- and negative-ion spectra have been obtained on the ionization by bombardment with fast atoms — FAB “+” and FAB “−” — of a trioside and a tetraoside of MA. The FAB “−” spectra are the most characteristic: They show intense peaks of the (M - H) ions and of the products of the sequential elimination of the sugar residues.
