Mass spectrometric investigation of carbohydrates

Conclusions The pathways of the fragmentation of completely methylated- methyl-L-arabopyranoside were studied in detail. The data obtained will serve as a basis for establishing the structure of the partially methylated pentopyranosides.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 2, pp. 277–283, February, 1967.The authors would like to express their deep gratitude to R.
