Abstract
The mechanism of water loss from the 1‐beptanol molecular ion was studied by using a set of deuterium 1‐heptanols labelled at each position of the chain. The carbon‐bound hydrogen atom lost in the water comes mainly from C(4) (69%) but also from C(2) and C(3) (10 and 13%, respectively), and from C(5) and C(6) (5 and 4%, respectively). No measurable contribution by an H atom from C(7) and C(l) was found. The structure of the resulting [C~7~H~14~]^+·^ ion was studied by using the MIKE and CAD/MIKE techniques applied to unlabelled, and ^2^H and ^13^C labelled compounds and by ionization energy and appearance energy measurements.
The results clearly indicate that at the onset of the reaction, the [C~7~H~14~]^+·^ ion formed has the propylcyclobutane structure. At 70 eV electron energy, the [C~7~H~14~]^+·^ ion formed is indistinguishable from molecular ions of heptenes.

## Abstract The chemical ionization spectra of a series of deuterated heptanals has been studied using methane and isobutane. Loss of water from the [MH]^+^ ion follows the same pattern as in electron ionization; hydrogen (deuterium) is lost from all positions except C‐1 and C‐2. The reagent proton
