Abstract
The mass spectra of alkaloids isolated from the epigeal part of the plant Arundo donax L. have been investigated. The main pathways of fragmentation under electron impact have been determined for arundine, ardine, donaxaridine, donaxarine, and donaxinine. An analogy has been found in the fragmentation of the M+ ions of donaxarine and donaxinine, the main pathway of their fragmentation consisting in the elimination of the elements of the N-methylpyrrolidone ring.
