Abstract
The synthesis and mass spectrometric behaviour of a series of oxygen-bridged α-cholestans and B-homo-5α-cholestans I-X are described. The differences in fragmentation patterns of these compounds are discussed in dependence on the position of the oxygen bridge, position and configuration of additional substituents and conformation of the A and B rings of the steroid skeleton.
