Notes:
The epimeric alkoxides 6a and 6b, generated in the gas phase by deprotonation of the stereospecifically deuterated isoborneols 5a and 5b, undergo loss of H2 and HD in a 1:1 ratio. This result, ruling out a concerted one-step process, establishes the intermediacy of an ion/molecular complex (‘solvated’ hydride ion) in the course of formation of enolates from the alkoxide anions in the gas phase.
