Abstract
The structures of the C~4~H~7~O^+^ and C~3~H~6~O^+·^ dissociation products from selected C~5~H~10~O^+·^ isomers with the oxygen on the first, second and third carbons were determined. The first product is CH~3~C(OH)CHCH~2~^+^ and the second is CH~3~C(OH^+^)CH~2~⋅ and CH~3~⋅CHCHOH^+^ in various proportions. These results demonstrate that ions with the oxygen on the first and third carbons isomerize partially to isomers with the oxygen on the second carbon. This and C~5~H~10~O^+·^ isomers expected to be accessible to each other suggest that there are traversable pathways between about 60 C~5~H~10~O^+·^ isomers, demonstrating how extensive interconversions of aliphatic radical cations can be.
