We investigated with tandem mass spectrometric methods (MS/MS) the nature and extent of stabilization of gas-phase alkyl, vinyl and 2-allyl carbenium ions caused by halogen participation of neighboring chlorine and bromine atoms. The extent of halogen atom stabilization is greatest for alkyl ions, followed closely by that for vinyl ions, and is significantly less for the 2-halosubstituted allyl ions. The data is consistent with bridged halonium ion formation in alkyl systems and bridged halenium ion formation in vinyl systems. Our results for the 2-chloro allyl system are in accord with an earlier NMR interpretation rather than with recent theory, indicating that a bridged allyl halonium ion species is involved.

An new overall lower energy pathway for the amine-catalysed Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction is proposed from computations at the M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) level. The pathway involves proton-transfer from the ammonium ion to the alkoxide formed from the aldol reaction through a seven-membered ring transition state (TS) structure followed by highly exothermic Hofmann<i> </i>elimination through a five-membered ring TS structure to form the product and also release the catalyst to carry on with the process all over again.
