Abstract

In an earlier publication2 we showed that alkenes under chemical ionization (CI) conditions react in a specific way with NO': Electrophilic attack on the rr system of the double bond leads to two isomeric molecular ions which give rise to two series of ions of the composition C,H2,N0 (ions a, a' and b' in Scheme 1) during the formation of which one hyd- rogen is transferred with high specificity from the hydrocarbon portion lost. In addition, an ion ... -1-+--J 0' b 2 b', (114) ...
