%X The C7H7O- ions formed by deprotonation of benzyl alcohol, norbornadien-7-ol and quadricyclin-7-ol are discrete species which all fragment by competitive losses of H, H2, CH2O and C6H6 on collisional activation. The isomeric ion from norbornen-2-one behaves differently undergoing retro cleavage to form HC2O- and C5H5- as product ions. The three deprotonated cresols are also distinct species. Anisole is deprotonated (by amide ion) to form both PhOCH2- and (C6H4)-OMe, ions which equilibrate prior to elimination of formaldehyde.
