## Abstract The mechanism of the collisionโinduced fragmentation of peracetylated methylโฮฑโDโglucopyranoside was investigated using deuteriumโlabelled acetates and sequential mass spectrometry. Loss of the substituent at C(1), the anomeric carbon, yields an ion of __m/z__ 331, [C~14~H~19~O~9~]^+^.
The reactions of metastable decomposing methyl acetoacetate (a mixture of keto and enol tautomers) are reported and discussed. The unimolecular fragmentations of the tautomers are different. The metastable decomposing radical cation of the keto form displays four specific ions: [ M -CO] +', IM -CHzO
