Mass Spectra of Furanosesquiterpenes

Abstract

Furanosesquiterpenes, isolated mainly from Lindra strychnifolia Vill. and other plants belonging to Lauraceae family, have chemically interesting structures. We have investigated the mass spectrometric behavior of the 22 furanosesquiterpenes using conventional and accurate mass spectral data. Metastable defocussing measurement was also carried out to confirm the fragmentation paths.
