Loss of DNC from ionized 4-hydroxypyridine-OD: An intriguing reaction unravelled by theory and experiment

Abstract

Low energy 4-hydroxypyridine ions (HP-1) decarbonylate but also readily lose hydrogen (iso)cyanide. Surprisingly, this reaction leads to a specific loss of the label from the OD-labelled isotopomer. Our tandem mass spectrometry experiments show that ionized vinylketene, CH2CHCHCO+ (1), is the product ion. This ion is also generated by the decarbonylation of 4-cyclopentene-1,3-dione ions (CP-1) and a computational analysis using the CBS-QB3 …
