The structure of the bicyclic oxidation product of dehydro L ‐ascorbic acid has been confirmed by detailed mass spectroscopy and 13 C nmr spectroscopy as 3 . This structure was put in doubt, when electron ionization mass spectroscopy detected a molecular peak two mass units higher than expected. Careful experiments at low temperature revealed that the molecular ion disproportionates when heated, giving ion 2 or one of its isomers.
