Abstract
The eight epimeric 3,4-dimethyl-l,2-cyclopentanediols have been investigated as bistrimethylsilyl (TMS) ethers and as diacetates by means of isobutane chemical ionization (CI). Correlations between stereochemistry and CI spectra appear to be limited in the case of the TMS ethers. All eight diacetates, however, can be unequivocally identified from their isobutane CI spectra.
