The mass spectra of the trimethylsilyl derivatives of 22 3P-hydroxy-A5-pregnenes have been examined with the aid of deuterium labelling and high resolution mass measurements. The influence of additional hydroxy and keto substituents on the characteristic fragment ions is discussed and fragmentation

Abstract
The mass spectra (20 eV electron energy) of a wide range of %Δ^5^‐3β‐hydroxy C~19~ steroid TMS ethers have been examined with the aid of high‐resolution mass measurements, together with deuterium and oxygen‐18 labelling data. The validity of many previously proposed fragmentation modes has been confirmed. A number of ions regarded as diagnostic have been shown to be less specific than had been formerly supposed. Several novel fragmentations have been observed and investigated.

## Abstract An ion formed by loss of 56 mass units from the molecular ion is often seen in mass spectra of trimethylsilyl ethers of C~19~ and C~21~ steroids having a 3β‐hydroxy‐Δ^5^ structure and an oxo group at C‐17 or C‐20. The nature of this fragment was investigated by the use of perdeuteriotri
In the course of studies of A5-3P-hydroxy steroids in human urine, the absorption spectra of these compounds in two sulfuric acid reagents proved of value in arriving at their identification (1). Wilson (2) has previously reported spectra of 11 steroids in sulfuric acid reagents. Smith et al. ( 3) h
Sulfuric acid, both concentrated and variously diluted with ethanol and water, has been widely employed in steroid analysis. Three types of reactions with neutral steroids are: (a) development of characteristic absorption spectra at room temperature after addition to a dried sample of steroid (l-3),
