Abstract
A novel hydrogen rearrangement reaction was found in benzyl ions that have a (benzyl) group (Z=O or N) at their ortho position. From deuterium labeling experiments, mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectra with collisional activation, and examination of structure-peak intensity correlation, a mechanism is proposed which involves a direct transfer of hydrogen (hydride) to the structurally remote but spatially close cationic center. The possibility of an alternative, less likely mechanism including an ion/neutral complex and/or a proton-bridged complex has also been discussed.
