Rationale: The study of natural products by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) is an important strategy for the characterization of the major fragmentation reactions which can then help to determine the composition of complex mixtures. Application of ESI-MS/MS to a series of isopimarane diterpenes from Velloziaceae allowed the rationalization of their fragmentation mechanisms.
Methods: Velloziaceae diterpenes were isolated by silica gel column chromatography and investigated by ESI-MS/MS analysis.
