2-(Trimethylsilyl) ethanol is a well-known reagent for the indirect saponification of lactones' as well as a protecting group for carboxy, 233 am in^^,^ and hydr~ xy".~ groups in organic synthesis. The analogous beta-2-trimethylsilylethylthiol reagent8 has potential utility for both electrophilic and nucleophilic introduction of the sulfur moiety. In the course of complete spectroscopic characterization of these betatrimethylsilylthiolesters and comparing them to the oxygen analogs, some interesting mass spectral fragmentations were observed. The chemical ionization mass spectra of the thiolesters contained fragment ions which suggested that there existed a competition between a six-centered trimethyisilyl-to-oxygen, and a four-centered trimethylsilyl-to-sulfur transition state. Rearrangement of the trimethylsilyl moiety has been observed in both electron ionization,"-'3 and chemical ioni~ ation'~.'~ mass spectra. These rearrangements can occur in typical McLafferty type six-centered transitions to~ xygen,'",'~ as well as to other heteroatoms
