A series of proton transfer reactions monitored in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometer allows the determination of the gas-phase basicity ( GB) and the proton affinity ( PA) of formaldehyde. The values determined by the thermokinetic method, GB(CH2O) = 681.5 ± 0.7 kJ mol−1 and PA(CH2O) = 711.5 ± 2.1 kJ mol−1 are in excellent agreement with data originating from proton transfer equilibrium constant determinations or from G2 calculations.

The gas phase basicity (GB) of dihydropyran 1 and dihydro-1,4-dioxin 2 is measured in equilibrium proton transfer reactions conducted in an ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer. GB(1) is found to be greater than GB(2) by 37 kJ mol−1, this difference parallels the lower reactivity of 2 observed in solution under acidic condition. Conclusion as to the favoured protonation of the C—C double bond, giving rise for both 1 and 2 to oxycarbonium cations, is drawn from comparison with analogous compounds and substantiated by molecular orbital calculations (MNDO) on the protonated structures.
