## Abstract An ion‐neutral complex (INC)‐mediated hydride transfer reaction was observed in the fragmentation of protonated __N__‐benzylpiperidines and protonated __N__‐benzylpiperazines in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Upon protonation at the nitrogen atom, these compounds initially d
