Abstract The mass spectrometric behaviour of the 1, 3-diaminopropane derivative 4a (3, 7- diacetyl-3, 7-diazadodecane) was investigated with regard to the fragmentation reactions of N, N′, N ″-triacetylspermidine (1), as model for the 1, 3-diaminopropane part. It was established that the degradation reactions in 4a and 1 are essentially the same and mainly due to the interaction of two N-acetyl groups. Thereby it is established that the most ...
