Application of the chemical ionization method to a mass-spectroscopic study of carbohydrates

1.	Fragmentation has been studied, and kinetic parameters calculated, for quasimolecular M+H]+ ion breakdown under chemical ionization in methyl ethers of the desoxyglycosides.
2.	Alteration of the position of the desoxy link in the glycoside molecule brings about an extensive redistribution of fragment ion peak intensities of the CI mass spectra of the desoxyglycosides, with an appreciable alteration in the rate of quasimolecular ion breakdown in the gaseous phase.
