%X The mass spectra of a series of alkaloids of the spermatheridine group, together with those of their alkoxy derivatives, are reported and discussed. The characteristic fragmentation processes, substantiated by appropriate metastable peaks, exact mass measurements, and in some cases by deuterium labelling, facilitate the location of substituents in the tetracyclic system. A structure for moschatoline is deduced from a consideration of the mass spectra of its derivatives.
