Abstract
Tandem mass spectrometry based experiments on D and O-18 labelled acet oin isotopomers show that the title reaction is not just a simple bond cleavage, but rather involves rearrangement via ion-dipole complexes; the intermediacy of a charge-transfer complex is proposed to account for the observed product ratios.
