When 4‐hydroxyacetophenone is treated with MSTFA the corresponding bis‐trimethylsilylated enol ether (1a) is obtained. The mass spectrum of la is characterized by a [M – 1] + base peak. Extensive deuteration experiments revealed that the hydrogen is mainly removed from a ring position, but originates also to some extent from the side chain (methylidene group) and even to a very small amount from the hydrogens of the methyl groups of the enolic trimethylsilyl group. A mechanism for this fragmentation behaviour is formulated.
