Deprotonated o, m ‐, and p ‐methoxyacetanilide show pronounced peaks in their collision‐induced tandem mass spectra (MS/MS) produced by losses of the elements of C 2 H 6 . It is proposed that this reaction is a ‘cross‐ring’ internal S N 2 reaction involving an incipient methyl anion. For example, p ‐CH 3 OC 6 H 4 − COCH 3 → [( p ‐CH 3 OC 6 H 4 NCO)CH   3 − ]→ − OC 6 H 4 NCO+C 2 H 6 .
