Transient radicals tracked down: An electrospray ionization mass spectrometer coupled on‐line to a microreactor system is useful for investigating reactions in solution and for directly detecting reactive intermediates. The transient radical cations 1 .+ and 2 .+ formed in the radical cation chain dimerization of trans ‐anethole were detected unambiguously by MS/MS methods.
