N2  - The ion [F-- - -HOMe] may be produced by the reaction of CF3O- with methyl formate, a reaction of a type widely used for the production of 'solvated' negative ions. The possible reaction mechanism for the model system F-/HCO2H has been explored by ab initio calculations. The reactions of acetaldehyde and acetone with [F-- - -HOMe] yield stable [M + F-] ions which are thought to correspond to 'solvated' enolate negative ions. Their formation in terms of a mechanistic pathway, recently proposed to account for the formation of [M + RO-] ions from [RO-- - -HOR]/ > CH-CO- systems, is supported by ab initio calculations.
