Notes:
The mass spectral fragmentations of several naturally-occurring 3,4-dialkoxy furocoumarins from the Halfordia species and their nor-derivatives have been studied using deuterium labelling and metastable analysis. Halfordin (I), isohalfordin (VI) and halkendin (X) show a common major breakdown pathway involving initial loss of a methyl radical from the 3-methoxy group followed by expulsion of CO, then loss of C2H3O, the latter fragment containing the methyl group from the 4-position.
