✦ Synopsis


Water elimination from ionized n-butanol reflects near randomization of all hydrogens in ions decomposing after s. This probably takes place in ion-neutral complexes by formation of a cyclobutane ion-H,O complex and/or rearrangement within [C4H8]+ in open-chain [C4H8+'-HZO] complexes, in either case accompanied by hydrogen exchange between water and open-chain hydrocarbon moieties. Extensive hydrogen rearrangements in which restraints on conventional transition-state ring size have little apparent influence may generally be ion-neutral complex-mediated processes.
