Abstract

Seven structure analogical flavonoid aglycones have been analyzed using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) in the negative-ion mode. The spectra obtained ESI-MSn allowed us to propose plausible schemes for their fragmentation mechanism. By analyzing the product ions spectra of deprotonated molecule ions [M-H](-), some neutral diagnostic losses and specific retro Diels-Alder fragments were obtained. By using all of these characteristic fragment ions we can specially differentiate the flavone isomer.
