| Abstract: | The mass spectra of trimethylsilyl-methoxime derivatives of the two insect moulting hormones, ecdysone and 20-hydroxyecdysone are described together with some model compounds. These steroid derivatives are volatile in the gas chromatograph and their mass spectra provide a sensitive means of detection and structure recognition. |
