Certain anions X--CH-CH2-Y and X-CH2- -CH-Y interconvert under collisional activation conditions in the gas phase. Experiments designed to probe the mechanism(s) of particular interconversions suggest (i) that the ions MeO-CH2--CH-CN and MeO--CH-CH2-CN interconvert via 1,2 H transfer processes, and (ii) when X = Ph and Y = CO2Me or CN, deuterium labelling and fragmentation data indicate that equilibration of Ph- -CHCH2Y and PhCH2--CHY occurs, at least in part, by proton transfer to and from the phenyl ring.
