The relative distribution of deuterium between methyl and methylene groups in ethanol at the bioconversion of D-glucose in heavy water was studied.

Unimolecular and collision-induced decomposition of the products of CH2O loss from propyl propanoate and butyl butanoate demonstrate that the respective products are the 3-pentanone and 4-heptanone ions.

This study was undertaken to define the mechanisms of metastable decomposition of C5H10O+. ions with the oxygen on the middle carbon, and to test the assumption that internal energy becomes randomly distributed prior to the unimolecular decompositions of gaseous ions.CH3CH2C(=OH+)CH2CH2. (2), CH3CH2C(=OH+).CHCH3 (3), and CH3CH2C(OH+.)HCH=CH2 (4) all rearrange to CH3CH2C(=O+.)CH2CH3 (1) prior to metastable decomposition.However, 2 - 4 lose ethyl 50 - 100 times as often as they lose ethane following rearrangement to 1, while 1 formed by ionization of 3-pentanone loses exclusively ethane.These differences are attributed to excess energy in the isomerized ions. 3-Pentanone ions formed by isomerization of 2 - 4 lose ethyl and ethane from opposite sides at unequal rates, possibly owing to incomplete randomization of energy following isomerization.
