Chemistry of Natural Compounds Aims and scope

Abstract

The mass spectra of five natural sesquiterpenols with various methods of ionization have been studied. A distinct direction of breakdown according to the alternative positions of the OH group at the C-4 or C-5 atom for the skeleton has been found. It has been established that the use of chemical ionization and of secondary-ion mass spectrometry raises the intensity of the molecular ions and increases specific directions of fragmentation.
