Figure 3-43 Fragmentation spectra for C 27 H 47 + ion at m/z 371 within waste sample<br />

A fragmentation scheme for 5-α-cholestane at m/z 371 is demonstrated in scheme<br />

5. The fragmentation appears to start in the alkyl group <strong>of</strong> 5-α-cholestane.<br />

Subsequent losses <strong>of</strong> a methyl with a neighboring hydrogen and an isopentyl group<br />

is proposed to explain part <strong>of</strong> the fragmentation spectrum <strong>of</strong> 5-α-cholestane.<br />
