Afterglow -triple quadrupole technique

The flowing afterglow-triple quadrupole technique has been used to measure the diastereoselectivity of the reduction of a range of cyclohexanones by silicon hydride ions in the gas phase. Strikingly, the axial or equatorial preferences in these intrinsic diastereoselectivities are consistently similar to results in condensed phase. 

The energetics and mechanism of the decarboxylation of the hydroxycarbonyl compound [Fe(C02H)(C0)4], and its reactivity toward SO2 has been investigated using the flowing afterglow-triple quadrupole technique. The...
