Abstract

A variety of reactions take place when ethanol, diethyl ether, and ethylamine radical cations react with basic, neutral molecules: isomerization within the encounter complex of the radical cation to its α-distonic isomer, proton transfer to the neutral, and loss of an alkyl radical. The initial step is formation, directly when possible or via isomerization, of a proton- bound adduct. This adduct can act as a proton donor or dissociate by loss of an alkyl ...
