Abstract

A number of gas phase ion molecule reactions of protonated species with acyl halides have been examined by ion cyclotron resonance spectroscopy. A number of these reactions are found to involve an addition–elimination reaction having the character of an acidic solvolysis process. Observation of the occurrence or non-occurrence of such reactions and a consideration of appropriate thermochemical data allow a set of criteria to be formulated governing the feasibility of observing the acidic solvolysis reaction. In addition a number of mechanistic inferences are made concerning intermediates involved in the various reactions.
