Electrospray-ionization MSn mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) with low-energy, collision-induced dissociation (CID) was used to establish the fragmentation behavior of sodium ion adducts of higher-carbon amino spiro-sugar derivatives. Their fragmentation pathways are proposed on the basis of the MSn studies and deuteration experiments. Some of the rings of these derivatives opened under the conditions of electrospray ionization. Novel fragmentations were observed and their mechanisms are proposed. This study demonstrates the power of modern mass spectrometry for rapid elucidation of the structure of higher-carbon sugar derivatives.
