✦ Synopsis
The proton affinity at the heteroatom PA, of four o-radicals ('CH,OH, CH3'CHOH, 'CH20CH3 and 'CHrNH,) was measured by studying the deprotonation of the corresponding ol-distonic ions in the cell of a FITCR spectrometer. This method can only be used for cu-distonic ions which are more stable than their molecular ion counterpart. It was found that the PAX of the %HrOH, CHr'CHOH, 'CHrOCH3 and 'CHrNHr o-radicals lies respectively 15.7, 14.5, 10.1 and 17.2 kcal mol-' under that of CHrOH, CHrCHrOH, CHrOCH3 and CH3NH2. These results are in good agreement with the PA obtained by high level ab initio calculations.

The key intermediates in the fragmentation of metastable methyl and ethyl benzoate radical cations are a-and j-distonic isomers of the molecular ions. The a-distonic isomers are also formed by fragmentation of longer chain alkyl benzoates, but may not be long-lived, stable species. Rearrangement of
The distonic radical cation C5H5N(+)-(·)CH2 can be generated by the reactions of neutral pyridine with the radical cations of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide, and ketene, as well as with the [C3H6](+) ion from fragmentation of tetrahydrofuran.
