Abstract
The mass-spectral behavior of substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-γ-carbolines has been investigated. For the 4-unsubstituted or 4-monosubstituted compounds a characteristic process is the primary retrodiene decomposition of the molecular ion. More characteristic for 4,4-disubstituted compounds is the primary loss of a substituent from position 4.
