It is shown that, contrary to a recent report, the kinetic energy release for CO loss from phenol does not decrease as the ion accelerating voltage is decreased. In fact, an increase is observed which is attributed, at least in part, to greater discrimination against off‐axis ions at low voltage. The kinetic energy release data do not demand the tautomerization of ionized phenol before decarbonylation.
