Abstract

Abstract: The gas-phase reactions of F, NHc, OH-, and a variety of carbanions with a series of alkyl nitrites (methyl, ethyl, n-butyl, isoamyl, and neopentyl) are reported. The reactions of F were studied by the selected ion flow tube technique while all other reactions were examined in a conventional flowing afterglow system. For fluoride ion, E2 reactions occur exclusively for nitrites containing 8-hydrogens, SN2 processes dominate for methyl nitrite, ...
