Field ionization kinetic measurements indicate that loss of C 2 H 4 from the molecular ion of tetralin occurs via competing processes, viz. (a) at short times the retro Diels‐Alder decomposition which is a high energy process, (b) loss from positions 1+2 (=3+4) and (c) loss after complete C and H scrambling which gains in importance for long ion lifetimes.
