Carbon-14- and deuterium-labeled choline chlorides were used to study the mechanism of the radiolysis of crystalline choline chloride. These studies demonstrate that, during the higitly-sensitive radiation decomposition, the carbinol group of the ethanol moiety becomes the aldehyde group of the resultant acetaldehyde, no hydrogens are transferred to or from the trimethylamino group, the hydrogens of the ethanol moiety are higitly mobile, and intermolecular hydrogen transfers take place.
