Notes:
The energetics, metastable characteristics and daughter ion structures for the loss of small alkane molecules from ionized 2-propanol, 2-butanol and 3-pentanol have been examined in detail. [2-Propanol]+· ions lose CH4 to generate the keto and enol forms of [C2H4O]+· and the same daughter ions are produced by loss of C2H6 from [2-butanol]+·. Ionized 3-pentanol does not lose CH4 but readily eliminates C2H6 to produce the enol ion [CH3CH=CHOH]+·. The last reaction was shown to proceed by a simple 1,2 elimination mechanism in the μs time-frame; isotope effects are also discussed.
