Abstract
The unimolecular reactivity of both protonated form of ethyl cyanide (1) and ethyl isocyanide (2) in the gas phase has been examined experimentally using deuterium labeling and mass analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry. It has been shown that both species isomerize into weak π-complexes between ethene and HCNH + (3 and 4), which may further dissociate or interconvert either by reorientation or by cycloaddition-cycloreversion
