Resumo

Very Wittig: Collisional activation of the lithiated betaine cation [(CH3)3NCH2CO2Li]+ (m/z 124) in the gas phase results in decarboxylation to form the lithiated ylide [(CH3)3NCH2Li]+ (m/z 80). Calculations and ion–molecule reactions with water confirm the identity and reactivity of this species.
