It is shown that ejection of mass selected ions of high abundance from the cell of a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance spectrometer permits the study of ion/molecule reactions of ions of very low abundance. Methanol is used as an illustration. Ejection of all ions with the exception of the 18 O labelled protonated methanol molecules, present at natural abundance, shows that the protonated dimethyl ether molecules in this system are formed mainly by an S N 2 displacement reaction.
