Abstract
Complete silylation of all hydroxyl groups of hydroxyquinones is repor ted to be effectively carried out using N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyl-trif luoroacetamide (MSTFA). The silylated products are studied by gas chro matography/mass spectrometry. A detailed study of their mass spectra p rovides data for the elucidation of their fragmentation mechanisms as well as the deduction of the hydroxy-group position in the hydroxyquin one backbone.
