Abstract

The unimolecular dissociation reaction of the propylene oxide cation-radical to the acetyl cation plus the methyl radical was studied by means of carbon-13 labeling and MS/MS techniques. In one of the dissociation pathways, in which acetone ion is presumably an intermediate, the newly formed methyl is lost preferentially to the pre-existing methyl. Propylene oxide demonstrates non-ergodic behavior.
