Reaction of aromatic peroxyl radicals with alkynes: a mass spectrometric and computational study using the distonic radical ion approach.

The reaction of the aromatic distonic peroxyl radical cations N-methyl pyridinium-4-peroxyl (PyrOO(.+)) and 4-(N,N,N-trimethyl ammonium)-phenyl peroxyl (AnOO(.+)), with symmetrical dialkyl alkynes 10a-c was studied in the gas phase by mass spectrometry.
