Abstract
mass spectrometric behaviour of some anthraquinone derivatives has bee n studied by fast-atom bombardment ionization. For all the compounds u nder study, a retrosynthetic process, consisting in the cleavage of th e NH-CO bond with hydrogen rearrangement, has been detected. This deco mposition pathway leads to the formation of the protonated molecule of 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone or to the 1-amino-4,5,8-trihydroxy-anthraqui none, representing the basic synthetic elements of the compounds under investigation.
