Abstrakt: The effect of stereochemistry on the mechanism of gas-phase fragmentation of [MSiMe] ions was studied using cis- and trans-1,2- and -1,4-cyclohexanediols, their methyl ethers, and acetates as model compounds. The higher stability of the [MSiMe]ions is characteristic of cis-isomers of all the compounds examined, which is associated with chelation in the case of cis-cyclohexanediols and cis-methoxycyclohexanols and with the higher reactivity of trans-isomers due to anchimeric assistance of the methoxy and acetoxy groups. Dehydration is characteristic of the [MSiMe] ions formed from cyclohexanediols; both hydrogen atoms of the hydroxyl groups take part in the process, thus providing direct evidence of the chelation.
