✦ Synopsis


Quinoxalinol t-butyldimethylsilyl ethers were prepared from three branched-chain and from two aliphatic unbranched 2-keto acids. The electrou impact (EL) mass spectra display pronounced [M-57]+ ions. With 39-51'/0 of total ion current contained within them, sensitivity is greater than on chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry of 0-trimethylsilyl derivatives. Mass spectra and chromatographic behaviour of these novel keto acid derivatives are discussed and preliminary quantitative data from rat muscle are given.
