Abstract

Abstract: The scope and limitations of collision-induced decarboxylation of carboxylate negative ions as a method for generating gas-phase carbanions are described. Simple alkyl carbanions can be observed as fragments from a variety of aliphatic carboxylates, provided only that the carbanion has a lifetime toward electron detachment greater than-25 p. Several heretofore unknown alkyl carbanions have been observed, including the neopentyl anion, ...
