Abstract:
A study on the behavior of a large number of monomeric and dimeric coumarins in the mass spectrometer is reported and discussed. The results illustrate that the observed characteristic fragmentation patterns are of considerable utility in the application of mass spectrometry to structure elucidation in this series.
