Identification of two separate mechanisms for HCN loss from gas phase quinoline cations

Identification of two separate mechanisms for HCN loss from gas phase quinoline cations
Identification of two separate mechanisms for HCN loss from gas phase quinoline cations
Critical energy measurements on 13C-labelled quinolines show that the energy requirement for elimination of H(C-2)N from metastable ions is lower than that for H(C-3)N elimination, the critical energies being 4.03 ± 0.05 eV and 4.17 ± 0.05 eV, respectively. It is also shown that involvement of C-2 and C-3 in unimolecular HCN elimination from ions in the second field-free region is greater, by factors of approximately 3 and 2 respectively, than would be anticipated for elimination following complete carbon randomization.

Abstract

Critical energy measurements on 13C-labelled quinolines show that the energy requirement for elimination of H(C-2)N from metastable ions is lower than that for H(C-3)N elimination, the critical energies being 4.03 ± 0.05 eV and 4.17 ± 0.05 eV, respectively. It is also shown that involvement of C-2 and C-3 in unimolecular HCN elimination from ions in the second field-free region is greater, by factors of approximately 3 and 2 respectively, than would be anticipated for elimination following complete carbon randomization.
