The primary fragmentation reactions in the dimethoxytoluenes have been studied and compared with those in dimethoxybenzenes and monomethoxytoluenes. Labelled analogues and metastable ion characteristics were used to elucidate the reaction mechanisms. The formation of stable quinoid‐type ions directs many fragmentation pathways. Analytically useful spectral characteristics are indicated.
