Dissociation Reactions of Low-Energy Pentenyl Methyl Ether Radical Cations C5H9OCH3 •+

The dissociation chemistry of the low-energy C 5 H 9 OCH 3 •+ ions generated from the 13 isomeric pentenyl methyl ethers derived from stable alkenols has been studied. This was done by examining their metastable ion characteristics, in conjunction with 2 H and 13 C-labelling as well as collision-induced dissociation and neutralisation–reionisation experiments. The influence of the position and substitution pattern of the double bond on the …
