Chemical ionization mass spectrometry with amines as reactant gases. VII—Amine chemical ionization mass spectrometry of some iridoid and secoiridoid glucosides

Abstract
The chemical ionization mass spectra of iridoid glucosides of the loganin type and secoiridoid glucosides of the gentiopicroside type were investigated. Triethylamine, diethylamine, ethylenediamine and ammonia were used as reactant gases. The possibilities of establishing the relative molecular masses and the masses of both the sugar residue and the aglycone and some structural and stereochemical features are discussed.
