Abstract

The nature and the isomeric distribution of the neutral products obtained from the gas-phase attack of CH5+, C2H5+, and CH3FCH3+ ions on cyclic CnH2nO (n= 2, 3, and 4) ethers provide the first experimental evidence in favour of 1-methyl-1-oxoniacyclopropane and 1- methyl-1-oxoniacyclobutane as stable intermediates on the corresponding potential energy surface.
