✦ Synopsis


New examples confirm that the competition between acleavages of ionized metastable amines is governed by the corresponding ion-neutral (I-N) reorientPton -rather than decompositioncritical energies. I-N reorientation critical energies essentially depend on two important factors: the size of the fragments ('size effect') and the polarity of the neutral ('polarity effect'). Examples are described showing the predominance of the size effect when the neutral has no permanent dipole and how the polarity effect takes over when more and more polar groups are introduced into the neutral. The reactivity of metastable amine radical cations is the result of the interplay of both effects.

The loss of alkanes from ionized aliphatic alkanes, alcohols, ketones, ethers or amines takes place by a 1,2elimination involving a C -C bond cleavage and the specific rearrangement of a hydrogen atom to the incipient radical. This reaction should normally occur within a limited distance between the
