The gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of CF3+ with monosubstituted benzenes carrying a hydroxy or alkoxy group [PhX: X=OH, CH2OH, CH2CH3OH, CH(OH)CH3, OCH3, and OC2H5] have been studied at near-thermal energies using an ion-beam apparatus. The major product channels are electrophilic addition on the O-atom, followed by loss of CF3OH, for ROH (R = Ph, PhCH2, PhCH2CH2, PhCHCH3); while they are electrophilic addition to a ring and a substituent, followed by molecular eliminations such as HF, C2H4, and PhF, for PhOCH3 and PhOC2H5. As a minor product channel, charge transfer is found for PhOH, PhOCH3, and PhOC2H5. The reaction mechanism is discussed based on product ion distributions and theoretical calculations of the potential energies of reaction pathways.
