Abstract

The mass spectral fragmentations of 2-phenylsparteine, 2-(p-tolyl)sparteine, 15-phenylsparteine, 2-phenyl-2-dehydrosparteine, 2-(p-tolyl)-2-dehydrosparteine and 15-phenyl-14-dehydrosparteine were investigated. Fragmentation pathways, elucidation of which was assisted by accurate mass measurements and correlation between the abundances of the M+• and the selected fragment ions of investigated compounds, are discussed. The data obtained create the basis for distinguishing structural isomers. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
