N2  - The methoxide anion (produced from methyl nitrite) reacts with neutral ketones (M) to form non-decomposing(M-H+)- ions. The (M-H+)- ions are ambident species and they undergo a number of ion-molecule reactions, including (i) characteristic reactions through the carbanion centre with methyl nitrite, and (ii) for acetone, the formation of an [M +(M- H+)]- ion. In several cases peaks due to collision-stabilized (M+MeO-) ions are observed (e.g. MeO-/acetone), but they are not detected for the majority of cases studied.
