Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of lithiated molecules generated
by liquid SIMS (LSIMS) from two new natural compounds, annoheptocin A
and B, led to their structural elucidation. Mass spectrometry (MS) and
tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) investigations of their acetonide de
rivatives displayed obvious differences of reactivity of the lithiated
dioxane and dioxolane rings towards CID, The 1,3-dioxane (six-membere
d) ring could be the target of hydrogen rearrangement processes, leadi
ng to the formation of a tetrahydrofuran ring through the loss of a mo
lecule of acetone. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
