The first oxirene derivative, 3, was one of the products obtained from vinylene carbonate 1 in the gas phase . Electron attachment to 1 , followed by elimination of CO 2 and subsequent removal of two electrons from the radical anion, leads to the radical cation 2 , which, depending on its internal energy, can also undergo isomerization to the stable oxirene radical cation 3 , which was predicted by theory to be a stable species.
