Abstract:Hydroxycarbenes
can be generated and structurally characterized
in the gas phase by collision-induced decarboxylation of α-keto
carboxylic acids, followed by infrared ion spectroscopy. Using this
approach, we have shown earlier that quantum-mechanical hydrogen tunneling
(QMHT) accounts for the isomerization of a charge-tagged phenylhydroxycarbene
to the corresponding aldehyde in the gas phase and above room temperature.
Herein, we report the results of our current study on aliphatic trialkylammonio-tagged
syst… Show more
