Abstract: An ion cyclotron resonance study of the ion-molecule reactions of vinyl acetate with methanol in the gas phase has revealed the formation of structurally different ions having the composition of protonated vinyl acetate. Deuterium-labeled reactants (CD3C02CH= CH2 with CH30H or CD30D) gave product ions showing incorporation of up to two deuteriums in the vinyl group, indicating coexistence and interconversion of 0-protonated and C- ...
