Abstract: | Summary 1. The mass spectra of tetracyclic triterpenes of the dammarane series with substituents at C-3, 6, and 12 and with side chains of various structures have been studied.2. The main direction of fragmentation is the formation of ions as the result of the decomposition of the side chain and of ring C, the second type of fragmentation being controlled by the structure of the side chain.Institute of Biologically Active Substances of the Far-Eastern Scientific Center of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR.
